Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Fatwa No. ( 8769 )
Q: If a Muslim woman thinks that the disbelieving enemies will violate her honor, does Islam permit her to kill herself by any means, in order to protect her honor and conceal the secrets of the mujahideen?
A: It is not permissible for her to kill herself, even if she fears that what was mentioned will happen to her by force. She is excused if what she feared occurs without her consent. And success is from Allah, and may Allah send prayers and blessings upon our Prophet Muhammad, his family, and his Companions.
