Discussion of the punishment of the grave.

The Shaykh : ... If it is necessary to speak, then it is in another form, and this is what we have not found evidence for, so we refer the knowledge of it to its Knower.

The questioner : It is what, for example, al-Nawawi mentions. He says: The people of the Sunnah and the community agreed that the punishment of the grave befalls everyone.
The body...?

The Shaykh : We say this, but we do not intervene in the details.

The questioner : The return of the soul, to which body, likewise, is not known when the two angels ask?

The Shaykh : It is possible to conclude that the return is to the same body, because it remains as it was...

The questioner : Even if a human ate in the belly...

The Shaykh : Ah, there is ease for you in the texts that he sits or is made to sit, and the soul returns to half of his body. This necessitates the body, but as for what comes after, Allah knows best.

The questioner : And the burning?

The Shaykh : Likewise, all of it, meaning, regarding the answer and the question and the answer, it follows one course, but as for the bliss and the hellfire, how it is over the years, Allah knows best.
