Question:
May Allah reward you, Honorable Shaykh. A questioner says: There is a pamphlet being distributed about death and the grave, and it has been given this title. It is about death and the grave. About death. And the grave. The grave. Yes. Yes. And it has been given this title, "A Departure Without Return." Is this title permissible in the Shari'ah?

Answer:
This is one of the overreaching acts of the youth who have started to put out things and do things that have no basis and should not be done. So if you want to advise people and admonish them, you stand before them, if you have knowledge, and you admonish them and remind them of the verses of Allah and warn them. But as for you writing a paper and making it about this phrase you mentioned, "A Departure Without Return"—meaning, if his intention is a departure without return to this world, then it is true that the one who dies does not return to this world. But if his intention is a departure without return, without resurrection, that is disbelief in Allah the Exalted.
But I do not think he intends anything but the first meaning, a departure without return to this world. But this act is not from the acts of the righteous predecessors; they did not write such writings and distribute them. This is not from the acts of the righteous predecessors, and perhaps things that are not prescribed enter into it. Yes.
