AL-KAFI LI AL-FATAWI KE-454: TANDA-TANDA 100 HARI SEBELUM KEMATIAN
Can the signs of death 100 days beforehand that circulate on the internet be relied upon?

Any report must be checked against the Qur'an and Hadith, and knowledge of death and the unseen belongs to Allah alone.

Summary
Any report must be checked against the Qur'an and Hadith, and knowledge of death and the unseen belongs to Allah alone. Signs based on personal experience may be used as general guidance, but must not be firmly believed to be signs of impending death. The widely shared 100-day signs do not come from any hadith, so attributing them to the Prophet SAW is forbidden. The fatwa notes that some scholars were granted by Allah the ability to know or sense their own death, as in the account of Ibn Rajab al-Hanbali.
Written in our own words from the original fatwa — check the source before acting on it.
Sekiranya tanda-tanda tersebut berdasarkan pengalaman peribadi, maka ianya boleh sahaja dipakai sebagai panduan umum. Tetapi, tidak boleh untuk meyakini secara teguh bahawa ianya adalah tanda-tanda sebelum kematian.
