Question
I JUST WANTED TO KNOW THE FOLLOWING.
IF A PERSON IS IN SAKHRAT IS IT POSSIBLE FOR HIM/HER TO COME OUT OF IT.
Answer
Muhtaram / Muhtaramah
In the Name of Allāh, the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful.
As-salāmu ‘alaykum wa-rahmatullāh wa-barakātuh.
Sakaraat refers to the period just before death when the person loses his senses. Allah mentions that when death approaches it cannot be advanced nor delayed by a moment.
Therefore if someone has a near-death experience, it will not be Sakaraat. Sakraat is followed by death.
And Allah knows best
