What is the authenticity of the hadiths narrated concerning the torment of the grave, and what is the ruling on one who denies the torment of the grave?
Previously, fatwas were issued confirming the torment and bliss of the grave with evidence from the Quran and , and there is no need for weak hadiths since authentic ones exist. Denying the torment and bliss of the grave is misguided and extremely dangerous, as it rejects the conclusive evidence from the Quran and Sunnah. Denying any unseen matter that Allah has made obligatory to believe in, such as angels, resurrection, Paradise, Hellfire, and the torment and bliss of the grave, is considered a denial of Allah and His Messenger and a nullification of the Two Testimonies of Faith (Shahadatayn). One must beware of groups that deny the torment of the grave without evidence.
