Re: suicide

@Muzna

that which has been stated clearly is apparent…however, Allah has repeatedly stated that he is merciful so only He can decide which rule will apply at the time of judgement.

Peace Muzna,

Prophet Muhammad said (as narrated in hadith) those who kill him/herself will live eternally in hell and in these hadiths, there are no mention of maghfirat. Almighty Allah also says in Holy Quran in may verses that those who killed themselves will taste the hell fire. So in light of Qur’an and Hadith, its clear that there is no maghfirat and those who killed themselves will live eternally in hell.

But there is another hadith that when all ‘Jannati’ will enter ‘Jannat’ and ‘Dozaghi’ will enter ‘hell’, (after short or long period) Almighty Allah will order angels that those who have ‘faith’ i.e. Imaan even its equal to granule may taken out from hell and entered into heaven. Eventually all Muslims ‘except those who committed shirk’ will be entered in Heaven. :). By this hadith we can conclude ‘yes’ there is maghfirat for those too who killed themselve but its depends on Will of Almighty Allah, means we don’t have right to say other pplz ‘yes’ you may go and do suicide b’coz at the end, u’ll be forgiven one day. Prophet Muhammad said “eternally” so its depends on the Will of Almighty Allah.

Now coming to the part of funeral prayer of a suicider, it is mentioned in hadith that Prophet Muhammad didn’t offered the prayer of those who commit suicide but He ordered others Muslims i.e. His Companions r.a. to offer the funeral prayers. Religious scholar agreed/says upon that the those highly religious Aalims, Scholars don’t offer funeral prayers but let the other muslim (ordinary) to offer prayers of a suicider.

Almighty Allah knows best.
