The Ruling on Naming Someone "Martyr of the Homeland"
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
A questioner asks: Is it permissible to name someone "Martyr of the Homeland"?
Answer:
Even martyrdom in the cause of Allah is not for the sake of the homeland, nor for the sake of anything else. It is only for exalting the word of Allah and in a lawful jihad. Not every jihad, or every fight, or every fitnah (trial, discord or temptation) makes one a martyr.
The presenter:
May Allah reward you, Honorable Shaykh,
