that he had for many years regarded as a martyr? Is having a nosebleed
as death approaches and the soul is taken one of the signs of a good
end?.
Praise be to Allah.
Firstly:
The martyrs of this ummah are many, praisebe to Allah. The one whois
killed or dies (in jihad)for the sake of Allah is a martyr; the one
who dies defending his wealth or property is a martyr; the one who
dies defending his honour is a martyr; the one who dies of the plague
is a martyr; the one who dies by drowning is a martyr; the one who
dies of pleurisy is a martyr; the one who dies of a stomach ailment is
a martyr; the one who dies by burning is a martyr; the one who dies
under a collapsed wall or building is a martyr; and the woman who dies
in childbirth is a martyr.
See the answer to questions no. 4017 , 93105 and 151904
Secondly:
There is no shar'i evidence – as far as we know – to suggest that the
one who suffers difficulty in breathing then dies as a result of
suffocation is regarded as a martyr, but at-Tabaraani narrated
inal-Mu'jam al-Kabeer (6115) from Salmaan that the Prophet (blessings
and peace of Allah be upon him) said: "Being killed for the sake of
Allah is martyrdom; dying of the plague is martyrdom; dying in
childbirth is martyrdom; being burned to death is martyrdom; drowning
is martyrdom; tuberculosis is martyrdom and dying of a stomach
complaint is martyrdom."
Classed as saheeh by al-Albaani in Saheeh al-Jaami', 3691
Tuberculosis is a disease that affects the lungs in which the person
becomes emaciated and dies.
Al-Mu'jam al-Waseet, 1/445
However, there is no clear indication that the one who dies as a
result of difficulty in breathingis a martyr. The status of martyrdom
is a special status before Allah, and not everyone who dies of
sickness attains it, even if he is one of the righteous close friends
of Allah. Rather it is a status concerning which we adhere to what is
mentioned in the texts, and we do not know of any shar'i text that
suggests that the one who dies as a result of difficulty breathing is
regarded as being one of the martyrs. But there are many other
positionsof virtue and reward before Allah apart from that, and
Allah's bounty towards His slaves is abundant.
Thirdly:
We do not know of any shar'i evidence to suggest that having a
nosebleed as death is approaching is one of the signs of a good end.
The signs of a good end were mentioned by Shaykh al-Albaani (may Allah
have mercy on him) in Ahkaam al-Janaa'iz (pp. 34-46). We have
mentioned them in the answer to question no. 10903 , and this is not
one of them.
And Allah knows best.
