Is a Muslim drug enforcement officer who is killed during a raid on dens of drug users and traffickers considered a martyr, and what is the ruling on one who provides information that helps them reach those dens?
Combating intoxicants and drugs is among the greatest forms of jihad for the sake of Allah, and one of the most important duties to cooperate upon, because combating them is a benefit for everyone, and their proliferation is harmful to everyone. Whoever is killed in combating this evil with a good intention is a martyr, and whoever helps expose their dens and report them to the authorities will be rewarded and is a mujahid for the sake of truth, the benefit of Muslims, and the protection of their society.
