Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
This questioner asks: Is it appropriate for us to say, "So-and-so was martyred," or "he was killed as a martyr"?
Answer:
We hope for him to be a martyr, but as for asserting it with certainty, no one has been declared a martyr with certainty except for those about whom the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) informed us.
