Question:
May Allah reward you, Honorable Shaykh. This questioner says: A person was wounded in the battle, but he did not die until after he left the battlefield to receive medical treatment. Does he receive the rulings of a battle martyr?
Answer:
No. A martyr is one who dies in the battle. As for one who is transported from the battlefield and dies elsewhere, we hope for good for him, but he is not called a martyr. He is washed, shrouded, and prayed over, and he is treated as a corpse.
