Question

People who died in the recent Karachi blast, will they be considered shaheed, since this happened during magrib salaat. They had gathered for 12 Rabi al awwal. Wht do u think ?

Answer

If a person passes away to to an impact in the form of an accident, bomb blast, etc. he will be a Shaheed if he had correct beliefs and Aqeedah.

To pass away during Salaat or during sacred months is a means of the mercy of Allah. However, that is not Shahaadah.

and Allah Ta'ala Knows Best
