Is it possible to communicate with the dead and see them?

The deceased cannot exit their grave or for their soul to speak and be seen by people in this world; this only occurs on the Day of Judgment. Whoever claims to have seen a deceased person or spoken to them has erred and is deluded, for it is merely a devil impersonating them. This is not a miracle but rather a superstition. The devil may take the form of deceased individuals to mislead people. Some may see in a waking state someone they believe to be a prophet or a righteous person, or they may think that a grave has split open and the image of a human has emerged from it. All of this is an illusion from the devil to mislead the beholder.
