Summary
A person and his claims are judged against the Quran and the Sunnah. The claim of seeing paradise and hell after being shrouded and buried for several days is judged to be false, and there is no Shariah text stating that the reward of charity for the deceased is blocked unless a particular phrase is recited first. The fatwa advises people not to believe such claims easily, not to treat outward appearance as proof of character, and to consult qualified teachers and authoritative religious bodies.
Written in our own words from the original fatwa — check the source before acting on it.
