The Ruling on Those Who Die from Coronavirus
Those who die from the coronavirus or pneumonia, people call them martyrs. What do the scholars of the Hanafi school say about them?
Answer
I say, and with God's success: Yes, he is considered a martyr; because anyone who dies suddenly, or from illness, or by burning, or by collapse, or by drowning is a martyr, but he should be washed, and God knows best.
