Visiting the People of the Graves on Friday
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Honorable Shaykh, this questioner says: Is it true that the people of the graves visit one another in their graves every Friday, especially the believers?
Answer:
By Allah, we do not know about these matters of the Hereafter. We do not affirm anything except with evidence. The one who says that they visit one another should bring us evidence. He should bring us evidence that they visit one another. Yes, there is a lot of talk, but where is the evidence? Yes, no one has seen them visiting one another. Did he see them gathered together, sitting next to each other? Or is there evidence from the Lawgiver to say that the evidence is such? He has no evidence. Yes.
The presenter:
May Allah reward you
