The time of a person's death has already been written in taqdeer

Question

If a person gets wrongly murdered by someone, is it true that he would have died at the same time even if he had not been murdered? Was his life only to that point in time by the grace of Allah?

Answer

The place, time and manner in which a person will die has already been written in taqdeer. It is not possible for one to die in any other way. Hence, there is no point in one thinking of other ways in which the deceased could have passed away if he did not pass away in this manner.

And Allah Ta'ala (الله تعالى) knows best.
