The reward of the drowned and the plague victim is like the reward of the martyr

Question:
He says: Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success, are the martyrs, such as the drowned and the plague victim and others, given the same reward as those who are killed in the cause of Allah?

Answer:
Yes, they are given the same reward as the martyr in the cause of Allah, but in this world they are compared to him. The martyr in the cause of Allah is not washed, he is shrouded in his clothes, no prayer is offered over him, and he is buried in his clothes and in his blood. As for these people, they are washed, shrouded, and prayed over, but in the Hereafter they have the reward of the martyrs. Yes.
