The Difference in the Reward of the Martyr in Jihad Compared to Others

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
This questioner is from Riyadh, from Prince Faisal Mosque. He asks: Does the reward of the martyr in jihad differ from the reward of a martyr in other circumstances?

Answer:
Without a doubt, the martyr in battle is the best of the martyrs. This is a martyr in the sight of Allah (Mighty and Majestic), a martyr in this world and the Hereafter. As for the martyr in a fire or in this [circumstance], he is a martyr in the Hereafter only. As for in this world, he is treated like the dead: he is washed, shrouded, and the funeral prayer is performed over him. Yes, that is correct.

The presenter:
May Allah reward you.
