Do the souls of children under the age of puberty go to heaven or do they remain in the grave? And did the Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings be upon him, teach his son Ibrahim the answers to the two angels, and will his soul be raised after the questioning? And are there hadiths that describe the period of Barzakh life as the believer sleeping, waking up, and looking at Paradise? And are there hadiths that some believers are tormented in the grave or on the Day of Resurrection before entering Paradise?
The souls of children who die before puberty are under the care of Ibrahim (peace be upon him), as stated in the authentic hadith. As for the saying that the soul returns to the child after the questioning, it returns to the guardianship of Ibrahim (peace be upon him).
