The questioner : A questioner says: Your Eminence, you mentioned the saying of Allah the Mighty and Majestic: [Yunus 10:92] What is the meaning of this verse? Is the verse still present until now? Is his body still present? If it is present, is it permissible for us to visit it for the sake of taking a lesson?
The Shaykh : This verse does not indicate that this body will remain forever; rather, the apparent view, and Allah knows best, is that it has gone, having been eaten by the fish and sea creatures, because there was no one at that time to take care of this body. The important thing is that the Children of Israel were reassured that their bitter enemy had perished. As for what is mentioned regarding the Pharaohs, that some of their bodies remain, that needs to be looked into; it may be from them, or it may not. What appears to me is that the Pharaoh who perished in the time of Moses has perished and gone. Yes.
today We will save you in body that you may be to those who succeed you a sign
