What is narrated about the questioning of the two angels Munakr and Nakeer in the grave, and about their appearance? Is the hadeeth about them, in which the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) told ‘Umar ibn al-Khattaab (may Allaah be pleased with him) about them, saheeh? Is it true that they drag their hair behind them and their eyes are like lightening and their voices like thunder and they strike the grave withtheir eyeteeth and say: “Who is your Lord? What is your religion? And who is the Prophet who was sent amongst you?”.
Praise be to Allaah.
Firstly:
It is narrated in saheeh reports that the two angels whose task it is to question the deceased areblack and blue, and one is called al-Munkar and the other is called al-Nakeer.
Al-Tirmidhi (1071) narrated that Abu Hurayrah (may Allaah be pleased with him) said: The Messenger of Allaah (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) said: “When the deceased – or one of you – is buried, there come to him two black and blue angels, oneof whom is called al-Munkar and the other al-Nakeer. They say: ‘What did you say about this man?’ and he says what he used to say: ‘He is the slave of Allaah and His Messenger. I bear witness that there is no god but Allaah and that Muhammad is His slave and Messenger.’ They say: ‘We knew that you wouldsay that.’ Then his grave ismade spacious for him, seventy cubits by seventy,and it is illuminated for him. Then it is said to him:‘Sleep,’ and he says: ‘May Igo back to my family and tell them?’ They say: ‘Sleep like the bridegroomwho will be woken by none but the dearest of his family to him,’ until Allaah raises him from that resting-place of his.”
But if he is a hypocrite he says: ‘I heard the people saying something so I said something like what they said. I do not know.’ They say: ‘We knew that you would say that.’ Then it is said to the earth: ‘Squeeze him.’ So it squeezes him until his ribsinterlock, and he will continue to be tormented therein until Allaah raises him from that resting-place of his.”
This hadeeth was classed as hasan by al-Albaani in Saheeh al-Tirmidhi.
With regard to the hadeeth of ‘Umar to which you refer, it was narrated via da’eef (weak)isnaads, such as the mursal report narrated by‘Abd al-Razzaaq in his Musannaaf (6738) from ‘Amr ibn Dinar, according to which the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) said to ‘Umar: “How will you deal, O ‘Umar, with the two testers in the grave, when they come to you digging the earth with their eyeteeth, stepping on their hair (because it is so long), their eyes like dazzling lightning and their voices like deafeningthunder, with a whip so heavy that if the whole world were to gather together to lift it, they would not be able?” ‘Umar said: I will be as I am today. He said: As you are today? He said: Then I shall take care of them foryou, in sha Allaah.”
Al-‘Iraaqi said in Takhreej al-Ihya’ (4/223): This was narrated like this, as a mursal report, by Ibn Abi’l-Dunya in Kitaab al-Quboor, and its men are thiqaat (trustworthy). Al-Bayhaqi said in al-I’tiqaad: We have narrated it via a saheeh isnaad in a mursal report from ‘Ata’ ibn Yasaar.
I say: Ibn Battah narrated it in a mawsool report in al-Ibaanah, from the hadeeth of Ibn ‘Abbaas, and it was narrated by al-Bayhaqi in al-I’tiqaad from the hadeeth of ‘Umar, but he said it is ghareeb with this isnaad, which was narrated only by Mufaddal. Ahmad and Ibn Hibbaan also narratedfrom the hadeeth of ‘Abd-Allaah ibn ‘Umar that‘Umar said: “Will our awareness be restored to us?” He said: “Yes, just as you are today.” ‘Umar said: “Then I will throw a stone in his mouth.” end quote.
Professor Fareej ibn Saalihal-Bahlaal said in his commentary on al-I’tiqaad by al-Bayhaqi (p. 254), after referring to the da’eef isnaad: Perhapsby virtue of these isnaads and corroborating reportsits isnaad may be hasan. End quote.
Secondly:
The questions which the angels put to the deceased in his grave are: Who is your Lord? What isyour religion? Who is this man who was sent among you?

Islam is a religion of Mercy, Peace and Blessing. Its teachings emphasize kind hear tedness, help, sympathy, forgiveness, sacrifice, love and care.Qur’an, the Shari’ah and the life of our beloved Prophet (SAW) mirrors this attribute, and it should be reflected in the conduct of a Momin.Islam appreciates those who are kind to their fellow being,and dislikes them who are hard hearted, curt, and hypocrite.Recall that historical moment, when Prophet (SAW) entered Makkah as a conqueror. There was before him a multitude of surrendered enemies, former oppressors and persecutors, who had evicted the Muslims from their homes, deprived them of their belongings, humiliated and intimidated Prophet (SAW) hatched schemes for his murder and tortured and killed his companions. But Prophet (SAW) displayed his usual magnanimity, generosity, and kind heartedness by forgiving all of them and declaring general amnesty...Subhanallah. May Allah help us tailor our life according to the teachings of Islam. (Aameen)./-

What is narrated in saheeh ahaadeeth about the description ofMunkar and Nakeer?
Is it permissible for a zaani (fornicator) to marry a believing woman?
please tell me can i marry a beliver if i`ve had sex with a non muslim
please answer?
Praise be to Allaah.
If a fornicator repents sincerely, Allaah accepts his repentance.
Allaah says (interpretation of themeaning):
"And those who invoke not any other ilaah (god) along with Allaah, nor
kill such person as Allaah has forbidden, except for just cause, nor
commit illegal sexual intercourse and whoever does this shall receive
the punishment.
The torment will be doubled to him on the Day of Resurrection, and he
will abide therein in disgrace;
Except those who repent and believe (in Islamic Monotheism), and do
righteous deeds; for those, Allaah will change their sins into good
deeds,and Allaah is Oft-Forgiving, Most Merciful.
And whosoever repents and does righteous good deeds; then verily, he
repents towards Allaah with true repentance" [al-Furqaan 25:68-71]
See also question no. 728.
If he repents, then he maymarry a believing woman.If a fornicator
repents, he should conceal his past and not spread word of it.And
Allaah knows best.

He is afraid to return the money to the bank in case he is questionedand put in prison; should he give it in charity?
I took a loan from a bank six years ago, without knowing anything about what in sharia we call Riba, and I paid some instalments. After few months, I left my job and took my savings, including the loan money,abroad to get married and buy a property and have not paid anything tobank ever since. Now, I realised that this is haraam, and I am willing to return the loan money that I have taken, in orderto clean myself from sins, but I am concerned about going directly to the bank,as that will complicate things in term of legal liabilities and debt repayment penalties, and may involve prison term. So, is it possible to give the money to very poor families instead of giving it to the bank?.
Praise be to Allaah.
Firstly:
It is haraam to take a loanon the basis of riba; the one who does that has to repent to Allah, may He be exalted, but he does not have to return anything except the capital. As for the interest (riba), he does not have topay it and he can use a trick to avoid paying it so long as that will not resultin harm for him.
Secondly:
You have to return the loan to the bank by any possible means, and it is not acceptable for you to give the money in charity,because giving the moneyin charity is only an option when the owner or the one to whom it rightfully belongs is not known, or it is not possible to send it to him, in which case you may give it in charity on the basis that if you find the rightful owner, you will give him the choice between approving of thecharity or taking his due.
The bank is the rightful owner in this case, and is known. So you have to return the money to it and you have to look for ameans that will let you avoid questioning and punishment.

3a] He wants to commit haraam actions then repent

Allaah is Oft‑Forgiving, Most Merciful”
[al-Furqaan 25:70].
Sincere repentance, according to the scholars, is that which fulfils the following conditions:
(a) Sincerity in repentance
(b) Giving up the sin
(c) Regretting the sin
(d) Resolving not to go back to the sin
(e) Repenting in time, forAllah does not accept repentance when the death rattle sounds before the soul is taken, or after the sun rises fromits place of setting
(f) Restoring people’s rights if the sin had to do with the rights of other people
We give our brother the glad tidings that if he has not done what he intended and spoke of, and he refrained from that out of fear of Allah and respect for His sacred limits, then Allah, may He be exalted, will record one good deed in his record, instead of the bad deed that he was thinkingof doing.
It was narrated from Abu Hurayrah that the Messenger of Allah (blessings and peace of Allah be upon him) said: “Allah says: ‘If My slave thinks of doing a bad deed then do not write it down for him unless he does it, then if he does it write it down as one bad deed. And if he refrains from it for My sake, write down one good deed for him. If he wants to do a good deed then he does not do it, write it down asone good deed and if he does it, write it down tenfold up to seven hundred fold.”
