The questioner : Is the prohibition only in designating that so-and-so is a martyr? If you apply it to the group?
The Shaykh : It is all the same.
The questioner : For example, a group went to meet the enemy and did not return. Do I say these are martyrs?
The Shaykh : No, you do not say that, because these are specific individuals, but they are a number. However, you say, for example, whoever is killed in this manner is a martyr. Yes.
