The questioner:
May Allah reward you, Honorable Shaykh. This questioner says: When 'Umar was stabbed in the mosque, he was carried to his house. Will he be considered a martyr, or is his death an ordinary death?
The Shaykh:
He did not settle down, nor did he eat or drink, until he passed away (may Allah be pleased with him). He is a martyr, yes.

The Shaykh:
He was carried, and he ate and drank? No, he did not eat or drink (may Allah be pleased with him). Rather, they would give him milk to drink, and the milk would come out with the wound. Yes.
