Question:
A questioner asks: Is it appropriate for us to say that so-and-so was martyred or killed as a martyr, given that he reached the battlefield?
Answer:
We hope for him to be a martyr, but we do not assert with certainty for anyone except for those about whom the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) informed us.
