The questioner : A rumor has spread about you that you said Marwan Haddid is not a martyr, or that he is a martyr, or something similar. Some people are making this claim. Is this true, or did it happen? Or did some scholars write this?
The Shaykh : By Allah, I do not remember that I said this, but I say that a martyr in Islam is well known: he is the one who dies in battle fighting the disbelievers. As for if one of us dies in his own home, even if his death was due to his calling to Islam and his hostility toward the disbelieving rulers, or the like, this is not called a martyr.
