Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner : Does the soul of the deceased know what we are doing here, for example in his house?
The Shaykh : Absolutely not. These are superstitions that circulate in the minds of some people. When a person dies, his connection to this world is completely severed. That means, even if atomic bombs were dropped—like the one you heard about that the Americans dropped on Japan—even if hundreds of atomic bombs were dropped on this spherical earth, the dead would not feel any of it at all.Jami` at-Tirmidhi 1376Sahih (Darussalam) And our Lord says in the Noble Qur'an: [Fatir 35:22] So the dead do not hear. Therefore, do not believe all these reports.
