Where is the deceased, who remains for several months in the hospital morgue before burial, questioned: in the morgue or in the grave?
Source: FtawySummary from Ftawy's records · added here Sep 2, 2026
Whoever dies will be questioned and punished in his grave. The deceased will be questioned and will receive his share of the grave's torment and compression, whether he was buried or not, and whether he was placed in a grave, a refrigerator, eaten by wild animals, burned, or drowned. None of this prevents the torment from reaching him. The manner of this is beyond the comprehension of minds, and its knowledge is solely with Allah. One must believe in the certainty of the grave's torment and bliss, and the questioning by the two angels. We do not delve into its manner, as the intellect cannot grasp it.
