Is the Punishment of the Grave Lightened for the Deceased During Ramaḍān?

Sh. al-Albānī (رحمه الله) was asked whether during the month of Ramaḍān, the punishment of the grave is lightened for the deceased:

“We do not have any clarification on this. Allāh knows best.”

The interjector then says, “The gates of the Fire are closed?”

The Shaykh replied:

“Yes, but this does not mean the punishment is lightened for the deceased; this requires a proof-text.”
