Is a mother who died on Friday while performing ablution due to electrocution considered a martyr? And is one who dies on Friday emancipated from Hellfire?
We ask Allah the Almighty for mercy and forgiveness for your mothers. Her death while fasting is an indication of much good, for whoever fasts a day in the way of Allah, Allah will distance his face from the Hellfire by seventy autumns. And her death by electrocution is considered a sudden death, which is a comfort for the believer. There is no evidence indicating that dying on a Friday is a cause for liberation from the Hellfire, but it is mentioned in a hadith, which some scholars have graded as good, that the deceased on this day is saved from the torment of the grave.
