Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner : He says:The questioner : Does the deceased hear speech?
The Shaykh : Yes, the deceased hears speech, according to what has come in the Sunnah. Among this is what we mentioned earlier, which is the hearing of the polytheists of the Prophet's (peace and blessings be upon him) speech when they were thrown into the well of Badr and he stood over them rebuking them. This is one instance. Another is that the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him and his family) informed that when the deceased is buried and his companions depart from him, he hears the striking of their sandals, the striking of their sandals, which is a faint sound, and yet he hears it.
