Is the one who dies suddenly due to an accident or an illness like cancer considered among the martyrs?

Question:
May Allah reward you. His second question says: Is the one who dies from an intestinal disease a martyr, and the woman who dies in childbirth, the one who drowns, and the one who passes away in a car accident or dies from a serious illness like cancer or other malignant diseases? Please give us a ruling, may Allah reward you with good.

Answer:
As for the one who dies in a sudden accident, such as a collapse, drowning, a fire, being struck by the plague, or a woman dying in childbirth, all of these are martyrs, as the evidence has established this. That is, they have the reward of a martyr; they have the reward of the martyrs, praise be to Allah. As for what is other than death by sudden accidents, this does not take the ruling of martyrdom. The one who dies from a serious illness, such as cancer or others, there is no report that he has the ruling of a martyr. Yes. Peace be upon you. To the best of my knowledge. Yes.
