Is it possible to hear the mayat speak

Asalamualaikum
Most respected Moulana

A family member of mine passed away while studying as an Alim (Shaheed).
An Alim who was instrumental in the ghusal and kafan (who had only met my marhoom a few times)
Narrated this story anonymously
That on the way to the qabrestaan for the burial while carrying the janaza he heard the marhooms voice tell him
Moulana you must please be the last to leave ( meaning from the grave after the burial)

Most respected Moulana I would like to know if it's possible for the mayit to speak or could it have been something else commanded to speak on his behalf

Jazakallah khayr

Children going to jannah witout Being tested

Assalam alaykum
My question is is allah not supposed to be just if children die before reaching puberty they go straight to jannah without any test and allah wont test them in jugment day either like the person who never jeard islam allah will test him in jugment day but he wont test they children that passet away in this world its like this children are doping an exam and they are bribing allah with there young age to go to jannah and Evert other person is tested if he pass he goes to jannah if he fails he goes to hell its like an exemple 3 students one studies his exam and becomes a doctor one didint study and didint become a doctor and one bribed his way trough the exam and became a doktor this is like the children who die before reaching puberty does this not make allah an unjust god he gives jannah free to some people and some people have to work there way to jannah

Recitation of Quran at parent grave

Brother Assalam-o-Alaikum,
I need your humble advice on one issue that is bothering me a lot. I googled it to find the perfect answer but still unclear and confused.
The question is
When I visit the grave of my father besides praying Dua E Maghfirat can I also recite some ayats of Quran like Suarah Yasin, Surah Mulk and others.? To my very limited knowledge I thing if only a child recite Quranic ayats on behalf of deceased parents that goes in their account as Sadaqah Jariyah. I'm debating this on behalf of hadidh by Nabi Pak Ṣallā Allāhu ʿalayhi wa-sallam that when a person dies his deeds come to an end except for three: Sadaqah Jariyah (a continuous charity), or knowledge from which benefit is gained, or a righteous child who prays for him’. (Muslim)
So if I make my an argument based on the third point and recite ayaths of Quran and ask ALLAH to accept it as Sadaqah Jariyah and give all credit of recitation to my father even if I do this act next to his grave? Will that be permissible?
Your clarification and guidance in this regard will be much appreciated.
Shukrya

Is it permissible to hindu to burn dead body

Dear Shaykh,
Assalamualykum wa Rahmatullah.

Due to covid 19, there was a case where a hindu died and there was none of the deceased family came to burn the dead body. Only one member of deceased family came but his is unable to do the job alone.

Is it permissible for Muslims to help any hindu to burn his family member.

Ma Assalam.

Complicated Inheritance

Salaam,

I would like to ask a question regarding inheritance. My parents are from Gujerat India. My mother has passed away and i thought I would ask my mother�s side of the family to sort out my mother�s inheritance. My Mother�s side of the family were 4 brothers (all pased away) and three sisters(two passed away including my mother, with my one aunty still remaining). I went to my mum's brothers sons to ask the question on when the inheritance would be sorted out.
The brother�s kids replied in the following way:
In the year 2000/01 a valuation was done regarding all the estate and everyone�s share was calculated, out of which the sister�s share was 4.5 lakh. The sisters were then given 1 lakh with a 3.5 lakh remaining as per this evaluation. Now all that remains to be given in the present day is 3.5 lakh as per the valuation of 10 to 11 years ago. Out of the three sisters�s one was living in India and two in London. The one in India was given the 1 lakh with witnesses and was told about the above (her husband and kids contest this and clearly states that the above brother�s version is untrue). My mother who has now passed away was given the 1 lakh direct by her brother in India and the one sister who is alive was given her 1 lakh by a third party.

The One sister who is alive with the remaining kids of the two deceased sisters are saying:
The sister who is alive is saying she was never told about the whole valuation or even told about her share in the estate, she did recieve 1 lakh (given through a third party, STILL ALIVE) The third party told her it was for a piece of land that was sold and the sisters share of this was 1 lakh. At no point did the brothers or their kids ever tell her about a whole valuation that had happened or she was never explained about it (NO KNOWLEDGE). She also has proof from the person who put the 1 lakh in her bank account who will state that this was the sisters share of a piece of land that was sold and not the whole estate. The two sisters, who have now passed away, were alive ten years ago and also recieved 1 lakh each and were also told that this was for their share of the piece of land that was sold, not the whole estate. The two deceased sisters kids were told by their mothers at the time that this 1 lakh was her share of a piece of land that was sold. Never were they also informed that this was their mother�s share of the whole estate, or agreed to it.
Proof:
The brothers family have nothing in writing from the sisters that states that the valuation was recieved, read or agreed to by the sisters. All the brothers side are presenting is that they have two witness who gave the 1 lakh to the 1 sister who lived in India and she was told. Also the brothers side have produced a valuation which was done ten to eleven years ago, and was taken to a mufti at the time to work out who gets what and how much. This valuation is not dated, is not a legal document or has it been signed by anyone of the brothers or sisters to acknowledge it or agree by it.


Question:
Can you please advise as this conflict is going to hurt my mother�s family which I don�t want. All I would like is my mother�s share as per sharia law.

1) Are the brothers families allowed to insist that the evaluation 10 years ago stands (even though they have nothing legally binding)?
2)does a new valuation need to be done and then as per the new valuation all shares should be worked out as the valuation ten years ago is too old?
3)If the old valuation should stand, then should all abide by the old shares not only the sisters? If so this will leave a surplus of money, should this money then go to charity?

Some burial rites that have me in doubt

Respected Mufti Sahib,
Assalaamu alaikum wa rahmatullahi wa barakaatuh.

Here in the subcontinent, even among Ulema-e-Haq, certain rituals are performed at burial time that, although if performed occasionally would be no issue whatsoever, seem to be made into necessary formalities whereas their source and degree (wajib, sunnah, mustahabb, mubah) are not clarified for the masses. As such the masses take them as necessary practices and frown upon those who do not adhere to them. This has all the hallmarks of bid'aat. I would like their status clarified and also would request ulama to educate the masses in this regard.
1) After salaatul-janaza, lining up to see the face of the deceased. If done with the correct intention, I admit this helps in softening the heart and reminding us of our own demise. But it becomes a carnival sometimes, astaghfirullah.
2) Calling out loudly "Kalima Shahadat!" and reciting it when lifting and carrying the mayyit.
3) Throwing 3 fists of dirt in the grave while reciting "Minha khalaqnakum..." from surah Taha.
4) two reciters standing on either end and reciting the beginning and end of surah al-baqarah. Dr. Abdul Hai (R) mentioned this in his Ahkaam-e-Mayyit, but please elaborate on whether this is sunnah, etc.
5) COLLECTIVELY praying for the deceased again at the grave after burial. Isn't the salaatul-janazah meant precisely for this? Also, there would seem no harm to do it occasionally, but here in Pakistan it happens without fail and is considered a must. That is my point of contention.
6) Sprinkling rose water or zamzam or otherwise "ruqiya" water over the grave.
7) Making the internal of the grave with baked bricks.

Wailing.

salam 3likum,

It is confirmed that the Prophet (sal-Allaahu `alayhe wa sallam) cursed the wailer and its audience. It is also authentically reported that the Prophet (sal-Allaahu `alayhe wa sallam) said:
((The deceased is punished in his grave due to the wailing over him)).

my question is why would the dead get punished for the wailing of others? if the dead person was a sincere and religous man/women would they still get punished if people wailed over there death?
