Question
Imam sahib, according to Quran everyone has to taste death. And will be alive again on the day of ressurection. From the Hadith you mentioned in the answer 3224, I understand that it means that earth will not convert the bodies of prophets into dust or skeleton, as normally happens. Kindly elborate it further for our guidance. JazakAllah Khair.
Answer
There is no inconsistency between the fact that every person (including prophets) tasting death and their bodies not being consumed by the ground as the life in the grave is only after death.
Therefore, the bodies of prophets not being consumed by the grave does not mean that they did not pass away.

Fatawa SA is an independent, read-only index of fatawa already published by Darul Iftaa Mahmudiyyah (AskImam). It is not a fatwa service. For your own situation, ask the issuing Darul Ifta directly.
