The ruling on one who dies in a sudden accident

Question:
The Shaykh said: Whoever dies from drowning, a collapse, or the like, seeking what he desires in the path of Allah, such as entering the highest level of Paradise, courage, and so on.

Answer:
He is a martyr. One who dies in a sudden accident and is a Muslim is a martyr, but he is not like a martyr of the battlefield.
A martyr of the battlefield, originally, is called a martyr only in the Hereafter. As for in this world, he is treated like other funerals: he is washed, shrouded, and prayed over. But the martyr of the battlefield is not washed and not prayed over; he is shrouded in his clothes and not in anything else. The marks of martyrdom remain on him. This is called a martyr of this world and the Hereafter, a wise one in the battlefield in the path of Allah. As for one who dies in a fire, drowning, or a sudden accident, he is called a martyr among the martyrs of the Hereafter. But in this world, he is not treated as a martyr; rather, he is treated like the rest of the deceased Muslims. Yes.
