Are those who die in Tahrir Square, before the Cabinet, and in Qasr al-Aini Street at the hands of the police or the Military Council considered martyrs, and do they receive the reward of those who strive in the way of Allah against the enemy?

If demonstrations have legitimate objectives and are free from impermissible elements according to Islamic law, then the intentions of the participants determine their reward. Thus, for one who intends to enjoin good and forbid evil, redress injustices, and support the oppressed, we hope for him the reward of martyrs if he is killed, citing the Prophet's (peace be upon him) sayings: "Whoever is killed defending his right is a martyr" and "Whoever is killed defending his blood is a martyr."

As for their reward compared to those who strive against the enemy, jihad has ranks, and martyrs vary in reward. The martyr of battle who fights the polytheists is superior to other martyrs, and he has specific rulings in this world. Martyrs are of two types: a martyr of this world (one who is killed in war against disbelievers with sincerity), and a martyr of the Hereafter (those who are given the reward of martyrs but do not have their worldly rulings applied to them).
