Meeting one's family members in the Hereafter
Question
What happens to a person when he/she dies? Some people say that you meet family members who died before you, some people say you’re sleeping till the day of judgement. What is the correct answer?
When Hazrat Bilal (radhiyallahu anhu) was about to depart from the world he said that he was happy and was waiting to meet Nabi Muhammed (sallallahu alaihi wasallam).
Answer
For a mumin it is a type of a Jannah that he will enter and when you are in this realm then accessibility comes with it. You can access people, auliyaa, friends, family, etc.
And Allah Ta'ala (الله تعالى) knows best.

Fatawa SA is an independent, read-only index of fatawa already published by Mufti Online — Madrasah Ta'leemuddeen. It is not a fatwa service. For your own situation, ask the issuing Darul Ifta directly.
