If Muslim soldiers are killed nowadays, do they become shaheed?

Answer

Governments of Muslim countries in this age are generally kaafir. All governments in Muslim countries have rejected the Shariah and govern according to kuffaar law. The security forces too are bolstering kuffaar regimes. In this scenario a soldier or police killed in battle will not be a Shaheed and should not be buried with his uniform.

It is not permissible to voluntarily join the army in Muslim counties which are all under the yoke of zulm – injustice and oppression. The primary function of the armies in Muslim countries nowadays is repression and brutality against the Muslim population. They do not exist for Jihad. The cowards only know how to brutally mow down Muslim civilians.
