Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
In His saying, Glorified and Exalted is He:[An-Nisa 4:29] This is a text regarding the killing of the soul. So what is the specification for this verse in the claim of the permissibility of suicide operations, when one claims its permissibility, even though public benefit does not take precedence over the text?
Answer:
My brother, the one who issued the fatwa permitting this is the one who is being asked. I did not issue this fatwa. He is the one who is asked about his evidence and his doubt in his fatwa, and about the specification of this verse.[An-Nisa 4:29] Yes.
In His saying, Glorified and Exalted is He:
And do not kill yourselves [or one another]
وَلَا تَقْتُلُوا أَنفُسَكُمْAnswer:
