Question:
May Allah reward you, Your Eminence, father. The questioner asks: Does the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) intercede specifically for one who dies in the Prophet’s city, such that this becomes a special attribute for those who die in the city?
Answer:
I know nothing of that, and a person is not benefited except by his deeds. Whether he dies in the city, in the East, in the West, on land, or at sea, nothing benefits him except his deeds. However, if he is among the believers, then the intercession of the intercessors will benefit him, by the permission of Allah, wherever he dies. Yes.
