The ruling on one who is killed in fighting the rebellious faction

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Honorable Shaykh! If the imam and the Muslims fight the rebellious faction, does one who dies from either faction receive the ruling of a martyr in this world?

Answer:
The rebellious faction is threatened with the Fire, whereas the just faction has the ruling of martyrs; they are martyrs because they fight in the cause of Allah, so they are martyrs. As for the one who is killed from the rebels, he is threatened by Allah because he is an oppressor. Yes. For this reason, 'Ali said to the Khawarij: "Our dead are in Paradise, and your dead are in the Fire."
