Is someone who dies in a car accident on his way to the mosque considered a martyr?
Martyrs are of two types: martyrs of this world (those killed in the way of Allah) and martyrs of the Hereafter (those who are given the reward of a martyr, but the rulings pertaining to the martyrs of this world, such as the drowned or those who die of an internal ailment, do not apply to them). As for someone who dies in a car accident, it is hoped that they will be among the martyrs of the Hereafter. And whoever dies on their way to the mosque, this is a sign of good.
