The questioner : Our teacher, is the punishment of the grave a punishment until the Day of Resurrection, or is it intermittent? And what is the evidence for that?
The Shaykh : Our Lord said in the Noble Qur'an regarding Pharaoh and his group:[Ghafir 40:46] .
The questioner: Yes.
The Shaykh : This is regarding the disbelievers, Pharaoh and his group, who took him as a god besides Allah. As for the others, there is no doubt that the punishment of the open sinners among the Muslims will be less than that. As for detailing it between a specific amount and another, this is not mentioned in the Sunnah.
