Does the person who is pelted to death receive the status of a Shaheed
Question
According to sharia law, some crimes are punishable by death e.g stone to death. Then, when the person dies, does he go directly to heaven because this is a martyr death?
Answer
There is no mention of such a person getting the reward of a shaheed.
And Allah Ta'ala (الله تعالى) knows best.

Where scholars differ, it’s safer to take the more cautious view.
