Is Dying in Ramadan a Good Sign?
The question asks whether dying in Ramadan is a sign of righteousness and if the virtues of such a death are authentically reported. Shaykh Muqbil al-Wadi’i states that while reports exist, they are not authentic, so it is not considered a reliable sign.
Questioner:
Has the virtues of a person dying in Ramaḍān been authentically reported, and is this a sign of righteousness for the deceased?
Shaykh Muqbil bin Hādī al-Wādiʿī:
It has been reported but it is not authentic.
