Passing away due to gallbladder cancer

Submitted by admin on Mon, 2013-08-19 07:35

Q: It was narrated from Abu Hurayrah (may Allah be pleased with him) that the Messenger of Allah (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 Allaah.” So My question is that “Does a person who died of Gallbladder cancer attain the status of a martyr?”

A: If he perseveres patiently and is pleased with the decree of Allah Ta'ala, he will receive the reward and status of a maytr.

And Allah Ta'ala (الله تعالى) knows best.
