Written by Shaykh Muhammad Nasir-ud-Deen al-Albani

The Prophet, salaallaahu `alayhi wa sallam said, "A Muslim who is killed in a battle is a martyr, (dying in) plague is martyrdom, a woman who dies while delivering a baby is a martyr." ¹

The Prophet, salaallaahu `alayhi wa sallam said, "The martyrs are seven, other than the one who is killed in the Way of Allaah, ta`aalaa:

One who dies of plague, 

one who drowns, 

one who dies of pleurisy, 

one who dies of stomach ache, 

one who dies due to burning 

one who dies under a demolition (by accident) 

a woman who dies with a baby in her womb." ²

The Prophet, salaallaahu `alayhi wa sallam said: 

"Getting killed in the Path of Allaah ta`aalaa is martyrdom, 

[death in] confinement during childbirth is martyrdom, 

[death by] getting burned [by accident] is martyrdom, 

[death by] drowning [by accident] is martyrdom, 

[death due to] tuberculosis is martyrdom, 

[death due to] stomach ache is martyrdom." ³
