Accepted Answer

All perfect praise be to Allaah, The Lord of the Worlds. I testify that there is none worthy of worship except Allaah, and that Muhammad is His slave and Messenger. We ask Allaah to exalt his mention as well as that of his family and all his companions.

Discussing the matters relating to the dead and their condition is among the matters of the unseen which could only be known by revelation either by the Book of Allaah or the Sunnah of the Prophet .

We do not know any evidence that the dead feels the people around him before burial or when being washed or carried. We have already issued Fatwa 83540 clarifying what happens to the dead at the time of his death, so please refer to it.

Allaah Knows best.
