The status of martyrdom for one who dies in battle specifically
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success. A questioner asks: Is it permissible to say about one who died in a battle that he is a martyr specifically?
Answer:
We hope for him that he is a martyr. We do not rule that anyone is a martyr; rather, we hope for it for him, along with the issue of shirk (associating partners with Allah), except for those whom the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) testified to as martyrs. Yes.
