Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
May Allah reward you. The questioner asks: Is it permissible to offer condolences for a suicide who kills himself?
Answer:
He is a Muslim who kills himself, so he has committed a major sin that does not take him out of Islam. He is to be prayed over, though not by the imam. He is to be prayed over, washed, shrouded, and prayed over, because he is a Muslim, and supplication is to be made for him. Yes.
