Praise be to Allah.

Firstly:

We have previously discussed what the Muslim should do during this time.

Secondly:

We have previously explained the types of martyrs and the definition of a martyr (see our previous posts).

Whoever dies because of the coronavirus, there is the hope that he will attain martyrdom in two ways:

-1-

If the coronavirus (Covid-19) causes damage to a person’s lungs, and that is the cause of his death, then there is the hope that he will be a martyr (shaheed), because he comes under the same heading as one who dies of tuberculosis, and in fact this is a worse disease, because tuberculosis causes small lesions or nodules (tubercles) in the lungs. The Prophet (blessings and peace of Allah be upon him) said: “Tuberculosis is martyrdom.” Narrated by at-Tabaraani from Salmaan, and by Abu’sh-Shaykh from ‘Ubaadah; classed as saheeh by al-Albaani in Saheeh al-Jaami‘. It was also attributed to Ahmad, from the hadith of Raashid ibn Hubaysh, as noted by al-Haafiz in al-Fath.

Al-Haafiz said: There is corroborating evidence in the hadith of Raashid ibn Hubaysh, in which it mentions tuberculosis.

End quote from Fath al-Baari (6/43).

The hadith of Raashid ibn Hubaysh which was narrated by Ahmad (15998) says that the Messenger of Allah (blessings and peace of Allah be upon him) came to visit ‘Ubaadah ibn as-Saamit when he was sick. The Messenger of Allah (blessings and peace of Allah be upon him) said: “Do you know who among my ummah is a martyr (shaheed)?” The people fell silent, and ‘Ubaadah said: Sit me up. So they sat him up, then he said: O Messenger of Allah, the one who is patient and seeks reward with Allah.

The Messenger of Allah (blessings and peace of Allah be upon him) said: “In that case, the martyrs among my ummah would be few. Rather being killed in Allah’s cause is martyrdom; dying of the plague is martyrdom; drowning is martyrdom; dying of a stomach disease [batn] is martyrdom; and if a woman dies in childbirth, her child will pull her with his umbilical cord to Paradise.” He said: And Abu’l-‘Awwaam, the custodian of Bayt al-Maqdis, added: “and being burned to death, and as-sayl [flash flood].”

Al-Minnaawi (may Allah have mercy on him) said: As-sayl [flash flood] refers to drowning in water. This is how the author defined it in his handwriting, which I have seen with my own eyes. What appears in many manuscripts, suggesting that it is as-sill (tuberculosis) is a mistake on the part of the scribes.

End quote from Fayd al-Qadeer (4/533).

The annotators of al-Musnad (25/380) said: With regard to the word as-sayl, this is how it appears in all copies, and in Ghaayat al-Maqsad, and it refers to drowning. But in al-Fath (6/43), al-Haafiz wrote it as as-sill (tuberculosis), referring to the well-known sickness. Perhaps at that time it was included with those who died of the plague. End quote.

And we have seen above the hadith which says “Tuberculosis is martyrdom.”

Al-Minnaawi said in Fayd al-Qadeer (4/145): “Tuberculosis is martyrdom” – this refers to the nodules in the lungs, accompanied by severe fever.

-2-

If the sickness leads to damage of the liver or kidney, and the person dies as a result of that, then he is described as mabtoon (one who dies of a stomach disease). The Prophet (blessings and peace of Allah be upon him) said: “The martyrs are five: the one who dies of the plague, the one who dies of a stomach disease, the one who drowns, the one who is crushed beneath a falling wall, and the martyr who is killed for the sake of Allah.”

An-Nawawi (may Allah have mercy on him) said in Sharh Muslim: As for the mabtoon, who is the one who dies of a stomach disease, that refers to diarrhoea. Al-Qaadi said: And it was said that it refers to the one who suffers from oedema (swelling) and whose stomach becomes swollen; or to the one who has a stomach complaint; or the one who dies of any stomach disease in general. End quote.

Shaykh Ibn ‘Uthaymeen (may Allah have mercy on him) was asked: In the hadith it says that the mabtoon (the one who dies of a stomach disease) is a martyr. What is meant by mabtoon, and does it include one who dies of cirrhosis of the liver?

He replied: The scholars said that the mabtoon is the one who dies of a stomach disease, and what appears to be the case is that it also includes the one who dies of appendicitis, because the appendix is regarded as connected to the stomach. That may also include the one who dies of cirrhosis of the liver, because the liver is also regarded as connected to the stomach. End quote.

Conclusion: For the one who dies of this virus, there is the hope that he will attain martyrdom.

We should point out that this does not come under the same heading as the plague, as has been explained previously.

We ask Allah to relieve us of this calamity and pandemic, and to grant well-being to us and to all the Muslims.

And Allah knows best.

When you try confused religions with so many contradictions like 3 in 1 one god, you will reached this conclusion. But no sane person has ever tried Islam and left, Islam is the true religion of God despite all the blackmails many people are trooping daily to accept Islam, with only one follower 1500 years back today we have 1.5 billions followers and it is just the beginning.

You don't need to wait for the end just weigh what people say against what has already happened.

Let do our best to stockpile at home things that have been found to be most effective against it.

You should wonder if at the end of the Journey lack of religion becomes the actual SCAM

Is it permitted for one to pray to die a mabtoon? Lukgaf

Jazakallah khair.

This is nothing but a crazy teaching in Islam.

Try and learn a religion so that you will be a believer ,is better being in a dilemma before its too late when you find yourself in 6ft underneath grave.

Is like all the moderators responsible for moving religious posts to front page are All Muslims.

I could remember during Christian Easter celebration (Sunday) only two trends was moved to front page despite all the posts on Easter Sunday in the religious forum/section. Why? Is that Discrimination?

Well done moderators.

The kind question these people dey ask, this clearly defines their method of thinking,,
No wonder their behavior

every religion on this earth is greedy, we all claim our religion is the best, when you fall sick, you don't look for a good Muslim doctor likewise a Muslim mechanic when your car is faulty, but when it comes to favors, religion comes into the equation, you start looking for your brother

God bless the Mallam

If dying of plague is a road to martyrdom, is there any reason to avoid dying from plague then? Why don't we all just get expose and die?
By the way what is the definition of martyrdom and does the definition correlate to dying from plague?

Must you always bring Christianity into your argument. That means you are so insecure with your religion. Go through their sunday threads and see if anyone will mention islam unless u folks will still infiltrate their thread to rubbish them..

The Holy Quran 49:11.
“O you who have believed, let not a people ridicule [another] people; perhaps they may be better than them; nor let women ridicule [other] women; perhaps they may be better than them. And do not insult one another and do not call each other by [offensive] nicknames. Wretched is the name of disobedience after [one’s] faith. And whoever does not repent – then it is those who are the wrongdoers.”
