Fatwas have been issued previously regarding the abode of souls after death and during sleep. The book "Ar-Ruh" (The Soul) by Imam Ibn al-Qayyim is recommended, specifically the chapter titled "Where Do Souls Reside Between Death and the Day of Judgment?" The narrations from the Companions indicate consistently that the soul of a believer prostrates before the Throne both upon falling asleep and upon death.
