Hello. Go ahead, let us hear your question, my brother.
The questioner:
Shaykh, my son passed away two years ago in a fire, in Makkah. He was dropping off a fuel delivery to an electrician’s guard, and he burned to death. Is he considered among the martyrs?
The Shaykh:
If Allah wills, sudden death by fire, by a building collapse, or by drowning is among the martyrs in the Hereafter. As for in this world, he is treated as a funeral case.
