The answer

A person afflicted by magic is not a martyr. Rather, it is one who is killed unjustly who is considered a martyr, as mentioned by Abu Omar ibn Abd al-Barr. It is not advisable to delve into the matter after death due to the difficulty of verification. Instead, patience, supplication, and seeking forgiveness are recommended.
