Does the deceased feel the condition of his family after his death?

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
From the Arab Republic of Egypt, this questioner, Bilal Awadh, asks: Does the deceased, after entering the grave and his soul ascending to its Creator, feel his family in this world and what they did after his death?

Answer:
He does not feel it. The deceased’s deeds are cut off. Allah (Exalted and Majestic is He) says:
but you cannot make hear those in the graves.وَمَا أَنْتَ بِمُسْمِعٍ مَنْ فِي الْقُبُورِ
[Fathir:22]
Indeed, you will not make the dead hearإِنَّكَ لا تُسْمِعُ الْمَوْتَى
[Al-Naml:80]. And the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said:
When a man dies, his deeds come to an end except for three things: Sadaqah Jariyah (ceaseless charity); a knowledge which is beneficial, or a virtuous descendant who prays for him (for the deceased).إذا مات ابن آدم انقطع عمله إلا من ثلاث: صدقة جارية، أو علم ينتفع به، أو ولد صالح يدعو له
Riyad as-Salihin 1383
.
So the deceased does not feel the condition of his family. May Allah help us. Yes.

The presenter: May Allah reward you, O Shaykh.
