Is a sister who was martyred in the Gaza war considered a martyr in the sight of Allah, or is she to be treated like ordinary deceased persons?
Source: FtawySummary from Ftawy's records · added here Sep 2, 2026
Patience is the best gift given to a servant, and whoever strives for patience will be granted it by Allah. The patient ones will be given their reward without reckoning. Tribulation is a sign of Allah's love for His servant and a means of elevating their rank. Whoever dies from bombing has the same ruling as one who dies from a collapsed building, having attained martyrdom. If the People of the Book kill her, she receives the reward of two martyrs. If she participates in fighting to support Allah's religion and is then killed by the Jews, she is considered among the martyrs of the battle.
