The Difference Between a Martyr in Battle and the Other Martyrs

Question:
He says: Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success, what is the difference between a martyr in battle and the other martyrs, such as the one who drowns, the one crushed by a collapsing building, the one who dies of a stomach ailment, and others? And is it correct to say that car accidents fall under the category of being crushed, so that they are considered martyrs?

Answer:
The martyrs are of two types: martyrs in this world and the Hereafter, and martyrs in the Hereafter only. The martyrs in this world and the Hereafter are the martyrs of battle in the path of Allah, those who are killed in the battlefield in the battle of fighting. Their ruling is that they are not prayed over, not washed, and they are shrouded in their clothes and in their blood, so that they come on the Day of Resurrection in this state. The state of martyrdom is like the one whose mount gored him while he was in the state of ihram, so the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) ordered them to leave him in his state of ihram and not to apply any perfume to him, saying: "For he will be raised on the Day of Resurrection while reciting the talbiyah."
As for the second type, which is a martyr in the Hereafter and not a martyr in this world, and they are the rest of the martyrs. These are washed, shrouded, and prayed over, but they are martyrs in the Hereafter in the sight of Allah. And whoever dies in a sudden accident, such as a fire, drowning, or car accidents, they are martyrs in the sight of Allah. We hope for them martyrdom. We do not assert it for them, but we hope for them martyrdom. Yes.
