Question:
The questioner asks: Is it permissible to perform 'Umrah for a person who committed suicide, who is a relative of mine?
Answer:
Meaning, he killed himself. Yes, the Muslim, even if he killed himself, has committed a great sin from the major sins, and there is a warning for him, but he is a Muslim. He is prayed over, he is washed, he is shrouded, he is prayed over, and he is buried in the Muslim cemeteries, and supplication is made for him because he is a Muslim. Suicide, killing the self, is a great sin from the major sins, and a major sin does not take a person out of Islam. He becomes an open sinner, a Muslim with deficient faith. So supplication is made for him, he is prayed over, and forgiveness is sought for him because he is among the Muslims. Yes.
