Is someone who dies in a fire a martyr if they are Muslim but do not pray?
Source: FtawySummary from Ftawy's records · added here Sep 2, 2026
Whether a person who dies by burning is considered a martyr depends on the ruling concerning one who abandons prayer. If it is said that he is a Muslim, then he is a martyr. However, if it is said that he is a disbeliever, then he is not a martyr.
