Thank you for contacting us. We inform you that explaining the subject of the soul from a scientific perspective is not within our purview; you may consult specialists in this field. Many matters concerning the soul are hidden from humans, as Allah Almighty said: "And they ask you, [O Muhammad], about the soul. Say, 'The soul is of the affair of my Lord. And you have not been given of knowledge except a little.'" For more information, please refer to Fatwas no. 36702 and 38180.
