The Ruling on a Martyr of the Sea and His Debt
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Honorable Shaykh, is a martyr of the sea like a martyr of the land? Is there evidence for this? And is his debt forgiven?
Answer:
One who is killed in the cause of Allah is a martyr, whether on land or at sea. One who is killed in the cause of Allah in jihad may be in the sea on ships and vessels, or on land. One who is killed in the cause of Allah and in the expedition is a martyr, and all his sins are forgiven except for the debt, because the debt is a right belonging to the created being, so the thing must be fulfilled. Everything is forgiven for him except that, because the debt is a right belonging to the created being, and martyrdom does not drop the rights of the created beings. Yes.
