Question:
Can you make dua to die in Makkah/Madinah?
Answer:
Yes. This potrays one’s love for the Holy Places, so it’s allowed Sayyiduna Umar radiallahu anhu used to say:
اللّهمّ ارزقني شهادة في سبيلك واجعل موتي في بلد رسولك
Translation: “O Allah! Grant me shahaadat in your path and make my death in the city of your Rasul (sallallahu alayhi wasallam).”
