The questioner : How authentic is the statement that one who dies in Ramadan or on a Friday will not be subjected to the punishment of the grave?
The Shaykh : The punishment of the grave is established for everyone who deserves it, whether they die on a Friday, in Ramadan, or at any other time. For this reason, Muslims say in their prayer, in the final tashahhud of every prayer: “I seek refuge in Allah from the punishment of the Fire, from the punishment of the grave, from the trial of life and death, and from the trial of the Dajjal (the false messiah).” However, one who dies as a mujahid in the path of Allah is not visited by the two angels who question him about his religion, his Lord, and his Prophet, because the glint of the swords over his head is a greater trial and test for him, and the greatest proof that he is a believer; otherwise, he would not have exposed his neck to the enemies of Allah. Yes.
The questioner : May Allah reward you. In a final question from the listener al-Khatib from Jordan, he says: O honorable Shaykh.
