Passing away in salaah
Question
Is it true that if a person passes away in salaah they go straight to jannah and if so, is there any hadith provided?
Answer
We have not come across any clear hadith to this effect. However, it is hoped that the person will be forgiven and be granted jannah as he passed away in a good condition and a mubaarak state while remembering Allah Ta'ala.
And Allah Ta'ala (الله تعالى) knows best.
