Is there a sin on me if I abandon treatment with medicine, and my death results from that?

Question:
May Allah reward you, Honorable Shaykh. This questioner says: There is a matter that has confused me, which is that the ruling on treating oneself with medicine is permissible. So, if I abandon the treatment and my death results from that, would I be sinful?

Answer:
No, you would not be sinful. Treatment is permissible; if you do it, there is no harm, and if you leave it, there is no blame. It is a permissible matter where both sides are equal, unlike eating from carrion. That is certain: if you do not eat, you will die. But treatment is not obligatory. You may treat yourself and still die, and the treatment may not benefit you. Treatment is not guaranteed, unlike eating from carrion in a state of dire necessity. That is guaranteed to be a treatment that will preserve your life. Treatment is not guaranteed to preserve your life. There is a difference between the two. Yes.
