The ruling on one who burns himself or is killed in the demonstrations
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
He says: May Allah reward you. We have demonstrations in our country. Is one who burns himself in the demonstrations, or goes out and is killed in the demonstrations, considered a martyr? We have heard people say so.
Answer:
The one who incites himself to this has killed himself. The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said:Jami` at-Tirmidhi 2044Sahih (Darussalam) Therefore, it is not permissible for a person to kill himself by any means.
But jihad in the cause of Allah and a person who is killed in the cause of Allah—Allah, Mighty and Majestic, said: "Ihm, ihm."[Al-Baqarah 2:154] He did not say, "Nor say of those who kill themselves..." So killing oneself is not in the cause of Allah. As for one who fights in the cause of Allah, enters the battles, and the disbelievers kill him, that is not called killing oneself. Allah, Mighty and Majestic, says: [Ali 'Imran 3:169] He did not say that those who were killed in the cause of Allah killed themselves. Be mindful of these matters. Yes.
He says: May Allah reward you. We have demonstrations in our country. Is one who burns himself in the demonstrations, or goes out and is killed in the demonstrations, considered a martyr? We have heard people say so.
Answer:
The one who incites himself to this has killed himself. The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said:
Whoever kills himself with (an instrument of)iron, his iron will be in his hand, to continually stab himself in his stomach with it, in the fire of Jahannam, dwelling in that state eternally. And whoever kills himself with poison, then his poison will be in his hand, to continually take it in the Fire of Jahannam,
من قتل نفسه بحديدة فحديدته في يده يجأ بها نفسه في نار جهنم، ومن قتل نفسه بسم فسمه بيده يتحساه في نار جهنم،And whoever throws himself from a mountain and kills himself, he will throw himself from a mountain in Hell.
ومن تردى من جبل فقتل نفسه فإنه يتردى من جبل في جهنمBut jihad in the cause of Allah and a person who is killed in the cause of Allah—Allah, Mighty and Majestic, said: "Ihm, ihm."
And do not say about those who are killed in the way of Allah
وَلَا تَقُولُوا لِمَن يُقْتَلُ فِي سَبِيلِ اللَّهِAnd never think of those who have been killed in the cause of Allah as dead
وَلَا تَحْسَبَنَّ الَّذِينَ قُتِلُوا فِي سَبِيلِ اللَّهِ أَمْوَاتًا
