Is the virtue of dying in Makkah hoped for one who dies outside the boundaries of the Haram of Madinah?

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
May Allah reward you. This brother, Turki, is asking a question via Twitter. He says: Honorable Shaykh, does dying in the hospitals outside the boundaries of the Haram in Madinah fall under the hadith of the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him): "Whoever is able to die in Madinah, let him die there"?

Answer:
If he is outside the boundaries of the Haram of Madinah, he did not die in Madinah. And a Muslim, wherever he dies on earth, returns to him good in Madinah or elsewhere. Yes.
