Accepted Answer

All perfect praise be to Allaah, The Lord of the Worlds. I testify that there is none worthy of worship except Allaah, and that Muhammad is His slave and Messenger.

It appears that you are asking about the excellence of dying in Ramadan and whether dying on the second of Shawwaal is like dying in Ramadan, if this is the case, then we are not aware of any evidence about the excellence of dying in Ramadan. However, there is evidence about the excellence of dying while observing the fast in Ramadan or in other months. The Prophet said: "Whoever fasts one day for the sake of Allaah and dies while fasting, he will enter Paradise." [Ahmad]

This narration applies to Ramadan and other months, and in general if a person dies on the second of Shawwaal it is not like dying in Ramadan.

Allaah Knows best.
