Question:
We then move on to the message from the questioner (K. A.) from Madinah, who says: The Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said: My question is about the wealth: how does it go with the deceased, and how does it return? May Allah reward you with good?
Answer:
The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) informs us that three things follow the deceased: his family, his wealth, and his deeds. Two of them return, and one remains. This means: this is a general description. This is a general description. His family follows him, such as his brother, his father, and his children, who accompany him for the prayer and the burial. And his wealth, such as the tools used to dig: the grave and the water used to sprinkle the grave, and the like of what is needed at the time of burial. Then they return. The relatives return, and the financial tools return. And his deeds remain with him in his grave. Nothing remains with him except his deeds, whether good or evil.
As for the mourners, whether family or friends, they return. And so does the wealth that follows him because of the need for it, such as the tools used to dig, the containers used to remove the soil, and the like of the things needed during the digging. These return. They bring them for the digging, and then the tools and the rest return to the house. Yes.
