Death in Makkah and Its Effect on Reward
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
It is a recommended practice (sunnah) for whoever is able to be in Makkah today, as this has been established from him (peace and blessings be upon him).
Answer:
By Allah, I do not know of it, but a person has nothing but his deeds. He may die in Makkah, or he may die in the East or the West; he has nothing but his deeds. If he died in Makkah and his deeds were bad, that would not benefit him. And if he died in the East or the West and his deeds were good, that would not harm him. Most of the Companions did not die in distant lands; they died in jihad in the path of Allah and settled in the East and West to teach knowledge and spread knowledge, and they died here. They were the Companions of the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him). The criterion is the deed, not the place in which one dies.
The East and the West, for teaching knowledge and spreading knowledge, and they died here, and they were Companions of the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him). The criterion is the deed, not the place in which one dies.
