What is the authenticity of the claim that those who blow themselves up have a smile and a bright look on their faces?

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner:
May Allah reward you. Honorable Shaykh, this questioner says: It is mentioned that those who die in the bombings in these times are seen with white faces, or that they are smiling?

The Shaykh:
Yes.

The questioner:
He says: It is mentioned that those who die in the bombings in these days, people say, "Look at his face, it is white and he is smiling." Is this considered a karamah (a miracle granted to a righteous person)? And is it a sign that their jihad (struggle in the path of Allah) is correct?

The Shaykh:
First of all, first of all, this is a lie; most of it is a lie, it is not true. And secondly, if something of this were found, it might be from the category of illusion for the sake of fitnah (trial, discord or temptation), for the sake of fitnah. They are not on the truth, and they are sinful in this action of theirs. So one should never be deceived by this. First of all, it is a lie; the majority of it is a lie. And try this: they claim that fragrances emanate from them, and that they, and that they, and it became a lie. They put in basil and nothing else, and they say this is from the karamahs. It is they who put in the basil and the perfume. This is a trick. All of this is from lying and deception. And their action is not correct. A karamah only occurs with a correct, righteous action, and this is a defective action, not a righteous one. Yes.
