Question:
May Allah reward you, Honorable Shaykh. The questioner says: I had a discussion with someone about the issue that one should not call anyone a martyr. He said, "I mean a martyr of the nation and freedom." Are these terms permissible?
Answer:
This is of no benefit to him with Allah. "Martyr of the nation and freedom" is nonsense with no benefit. There is no martyr for freedom, and there is no martyr for the nation. The martyr is in the path of Allah. The martyr in the path of Allah is not for freedom or the nation.
