Question
It was narrated in the hadeeth that the mabtoon (one who dies of an abdominal disease) is a shaheed. What is the meaning of the word mabtoon? Does it include one who dies of cirrhosis of the liver?
Answer
Praise be to Allah.Concerning
the word mabtoon, the
scholars said: one who dies of an abdominal disease. The apparent meaning
is that this would include one who dies of appendicitis because it is one
of the abdominal diseases that can kill. It may also include those who die
of cirrhosis of the liver, because this is also a abdominal disease that
can kill.
