What is the ruling on committing suicide in the case of severe depression in which the sick person is not aware of the consequences of what he does? Will Allaah forgive him for this action?
Is it possible that the suffering that the sick person goes through because of this disease is an expiation for his sins?.
Praise be to Allaah.
Firstly:
Suicide is a major sin, and
the one who does that is faced with a warning of eternity in the Fire of
Hell, where Allaah will punish him with the means that he used to commit
suicide. It was narrated from Abu Hurayrah (may Allaah be pleased with him)
that the Prophet (blessings and peace of Allaah be upon him) said: “Whoever
throws himself down from a mountain and kills himself will be throwing
himself down in the Fire of Hell for ever and ever. Whoever drinks poison
and kills himself will be sipping it in the Fire of Hell for ever and ever.
Whoever kills himself with a piece of iron will have that iron in his hand,
thrusting it into his belly in the Fire of Hell for ever and ever.” Narrated
by al-Bukhaari (5442) and Muslim (109),
It was narrated from Thaabit
ibn Dahhaak (may Allaah be pleased with him) that the Messenger of Allaah
(blessings and peace of Allaah be upon him) said: “Whoever kills himself
with something will be punished with it on the Day of Resurrection.”
Narrated by al-Bukhaari (5700) and Muslim (110).
It was narrated that Jundub
ibn ‘Abd-Allaah (may Allaah be pleased with him) said: The Messenger of
Allaah (blessings and peace of Allaah be upon him) said: “A man among those
who came before you was wounded. He panicked and took a knife and cut his
hand, and the bleeding did not stop until he died. Allaah, may He be
glorified and exalted, said: ‘My slave hastened his death; I have forbidden
Paradise to him.” Narrated by al-Bukhaari (3276) and Muslim (113).
The believer has to be
patient and to seek the help of Allaah, may He be exalted, and understand
that no matter what hardship befalls him in this world -- no matter how
severe it is -- the punishment of the Hereafter is worse than it. It is not
acceptable according to anyone who is of right mind to run away from the
heat of the desert and throw himself into the fire. How can he flee from
temporary hardship and difficulty -- which inevitably will come to an end --
to an eternal punishment which has no end?
The Muslim should ponder and
realise that he is not the only one in this world who is affected by
calamity and hardship. Calamities befell the greatest of mankind, namely the
Prophets, Messengers and the righteous. They also befell the worst of
mankind, namely the disbelievers and atheists.
Calamity is part of the
natural order of things and hardly anyone is safe from it.
If the believer handles it
well and is patient, and it becomes a means that makes him turn back to
Allaah and strive hard in worship and righteous deeds, then the calamity
will have been good for him and will be expiation for his sins, and perhaps
he will meet Allaah with no burden of sin.
The Prophet (blessings and
peace of Allaah be upon him) said: “No pain, hardship, sickness or grief
befalls a believer, not even worry that befalls him, but some of his bad
deeds will be expiated.” Narrated by al-Bukhaari (5642) and Muslim (2573).
Al-Tirmidhi (2399) narrated
that Abu Hurayrah (may Allaah be pleased with him) said: The Messenger of
Allaah (blessings and peace of Allaah be upon him) said: “Calamities will
continue to befall believing men and women in themselves, their children and
their wealth, until they meet Allaah with no burden of sin.” Classed as
saheeh by al-Albaani in Silsilat al-Ahaadeeth al-Saheehah (2280).
And Allaah knows best
