Is the one who dies in the fighting that is currently taking place between Muslims in the fitnah of the Gulf a martyr?

The questioner : Are all those from both sides who are fighting in Iraq in the first Gulf fitnah martyrs?

The Shaykh : The story of the fighting man about whom the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: .

The Shaykh : He was fighting a fierce battle until the Companions were amazed by the intensity of his fighting, so they hastened to the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) to tell him: So-and-so is fighting thus and thus. The response of (peace be upon him) was: . So the story has some length to it, and its summary is: three times the Companions returned to the Messenger, impatient because of the intensity of his fighting and his bravery, and the response of the Messenger did not change: .
And finally: a man from his companions resolved to be with this fighter—and I do not say now that he is a mujahid—to be his companion to watch him. The outcome for this fighter was that his wounds multiplied and he did not bear them, so he placed the head of the sword on his belly and leaned on it until it came out of his back and he died. So the man who had been his companion hastened to the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him and his family) to tell him: O Messenger of Allah, so-and-so, about whom you said thus and thus, did thus and thus. He said (may Allah’s prayers and peace be upon him): ; so the statement of Ibn Lahi’ah in what he narrated is true: “Many a slain man between two rows, Allah knows best his intention.” And therefore we cannot say that if the banner of jihad in the path of Allah and fighting the enemies of Allah is raised, then everyone who is killed is a martyr. We hope for that and treat them with the treatment of martyrs: we do not pray over them, we do not wash them, we do not shroud them, and we bury them in their clothes and their blood; this is their worldly ruling. But in the Hereafter, Allah knows their intentions. This is if there were an Islamic community and Islamic jihad. What about us today, when many people do not pray and yet they say that they want to do jihad?
If we know this reality, we do not say: that among the ranks of those fighting the disbelievers, the one who died is a martyr or is not a martyr. Likewise, the one who died among the Muslims while fighting the Muslim disbelievers is even more so that we should not say he is a martyr. But we say: the Muslims who are fighting with the disbelievers today, the Iraqis, these are wrong in the most severe way, and then Allah knows best their intentions. They may be deceived, or some of them may be exercising ijtihad with a wrong ijtihad. As for the other side that is currently defending its Muslim country, these are on the right, and we likewise say: Allah knows best their intentions. And therefore it is not befitting for us to delve into such a question: Are all those from both sides martyrs? We say: the side with the right, if it intends jihad in the path of Allah, then it is a martyr. But if it does not intend that, then it is a slain man and not a martyr.
