The Ruling on Suicide in the Face of the Enemy

Question:
Raise your voice; the question is clear. You were with them in Palestine, as is well known, and he means to ask about throwing themselves into the sea in Palestine.

Answer:
No, suicide is not permissible. Resisting is fine; they should resist their enemies and the oppressors who have encroached upon them, resisting them with weapons. But killing oneself, no, that is not permissible. Allah has forbidden a person from killing himself. Indeed, Allah was Merciful to you. And whoever does that in aggression and injustice, We will cause him to taste the Fire, and that is easy for Allah. So it is not permissible for a person to kill himself, ever. But if he fights and is killed, he is in the path of Allah. The Palestinians and others, if they fight the disbelievers and are killed, they are martyrs in the path of Allah. But killing oneself, no, a person does not kill himself no matter what. There are ways, my brother, there are other ways, the ways of jihad, carrying weapons. These are the ways of jihad and carrying weapons. Yes.
The disbelievers rejoice over this; they rejoice that we kill ourselves and that we commit suicide. They rejoice over this. Remaining a mujahid in the path of Allah is better than killing yourself, and the enemy is relieved of you. You have spared them the trouble; you killed yourself.
