Passing away from coronavirus
Question
I have heard from someone that if one passes away because of cancer, they pass away as a Shaheed (that is they gain martyrdom). They also have said that if one passes away from the corona virus and any other such virus then they also pass away as a Shaheed. Is there any truth to these statements?
Answer
Definitely they will receive the reward of shahaadat.
And Allah Ta'ala (الله تعالى) knows best.
