Question:
This questioner, who did not mention his name in this message, says: When a Muslim dies and is placed in the grave, does his soul return to him? Do his brothers or his deceased brothers come to him and ask about the conditions of their families and relatives? Please inform us in detail; may Allah benefit you with your knowledge?

Answer:
When the deceased is placed in his grave, it is established in the authentic hadiths that his soul returns to him and two angels come to him to ask him about his Lord, his religion, and his Prophet. This is established. As for his gathering with his family, there is no basis for it in the authentic hadiths. What is established is that his soul returns to him until he is asked, and this is a life of the barzakh (the interval between death and resurrection), not of the same kind as the life of the people of this world, but rather a special life by which he understands and comprehends what he is asked about. So Allah establishes the people of faith and misguides the wrongdoers. Yes.
