Is it permissible to publish the story "The Journey of the Soul in the World of Barzakh" by the visionary Asghar Bahmani, and if not, what is the reason for its prohibition?
Discussions concerning matters of the unseen, such as the Barzakh (interim period between death and resurrection) and what happens to the soul therein, must rely solely on the texts of the two revelations (Quran and Sunnah). It is impermissible to circulate stories related to it because it is not possible to narrate from the deceased, due to the existence of a barrier between the living and the dead until they are resurrected, in accordance with His (Allah's) saying, "And behind them is a barrier until the Day they are resurrected" (Quran 23:100). It is advised to engage in learning, teaching, and spreading the Quran and authentic Hadith.
