Question:
Honorable Shaykh, the colleagues in the control room see that the program's time is about to end, but we are raising this question about our soldiers stationed at the borders who protect this country, the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia, and offer their lives cheaply in the path of Allah. Perhaps you have a guiding word for them. May you be rewarded.
Answer:
The soldiers stationed at the borders facing the enemy have a great reward if they are sincere in their intention for Allah the Exalted and seek the reward from Him. They are among those who stand guard in the path of Allah the Exalted. In the hadith:Jami` at-Tirmidhi 1639Hasan (Darussalam) And if a soldier dies while on guard, his reward continues for him until the Day of Resurrection. This is among the best of deeds. Yes.

Answer:
The soldiers stationed at the borders facing the enemy have a great reward if they are sincere in their intention for Allah the Exalted and seek the reward from Him. They are among those who stand guard in the path of Allah the Exalted. In the hadith:
There are two eyes that shall not be touched by the Fire: An eye that wept from the fear of Allah, and an eye that spent the night standing on guard in the cause of Allah.
عينان لا تمسهما النار عين بكت من خشية الله وعين باتت تحرس في سبيل الله.
