Is a sister who died from a stroke fifteen days after giving birth considered a martyr?
A woman is considered a martyr if she dies due to postpartum bleeding (nifas). However, if she contracts an illness during the nifas period and dies from it, that is not considered martyrdom. The hadith states, "A woman who dies with jumu'," meaning she dies in childbirth.
