The Ruling on One Who Dies from Swine Flu: Is He a Martyr?

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
The questioner asks: Is one who dies from swine flu a martyr?

Answer:
Allah knows best. Martyrdom is only mentioned in the case of death by the plague, may Allah protect us from the plague. As for the other diseases, I do not know that one who dies from them is a martyr, but the Muslim is to be hoped for good. Yes.
