ANSWER:

No, this indicates that the honor and dignity of a deceased is like that of a living person.

QUESTION: The Prophet (blessings and peace of Allah be upon him) said: “Breaking the bone of one who is dead is like breaking it when he is alive.”Does this hadith indicate that dead people feel extreme pain when their bones are broken? I’ve heard that when even a tiny ant walks over the grave of a recently dead person, the dead person feels extreme pain due to the weight of the ant.
