Can a person be considered as a shaheed if he dies whilst on a business trip by sea?

 

missible,
if one thinks it is most likely to be safe. If it is not safe then he
should not travel for the purpose of trade; if he did that [i.e., traveled
when it was not safe to do so], then he has contributed to his own death,
and in such a case we cannot say that he was a shaheed. And Allaah knows
best.
