Is it true that the dead visit one another?

Question:
The questioner, Umm Ibrahim, has a set of questions. She asks: Is it true that the dead visit one another, and when does the life of the barzakh (the interval between death and resurrection) occur for the major sinners?

Answer:
Allah knows best. This is among the matters of the barzakh (the interval between death and resurrection) and the Hereafter, which no one knows except Allah. We do not speak of them except with evidence. However, the dead, and Allah knows best, find comfort in one another. The righteous among the dead find comfort in one another, and some of them may see one another with a vision of the barzakh (the interval between death and resurrection). Allah knows best about that.
