Whoever dies of appendicitis or cirrhosis of the liver is a shaheed (martyr)

Question: 9282

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?

Praise be to Allah, and peace and blessings be upon the Messenger of Allah and his family.

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.
