Does the deceased feel the worms as they consume their body?
Source: FtawySummary from Ftawy's records · added here Sep 2, 2026
The bodies of all people decay, except for the bodies of the prophets, for Allah has forbidden the earth from consuming them. If a person is a righteous believer, they do not feel the decay of their body. As for the bodies of disbelievers and disobedient people, their decay may be a torment for them, as it is established that the blessings and torment of the grave afflict both the soul and the body together.
