Is there an expiation for one who kills himself by mistake?

Question : He says that the one who kills himself by mistake has a greater [sin] upon him. This is correct.

Answer : It is correct. First, this is not the place for its discussion, but their evidence is the generality of His saying: They said, and since it is a believing soul, the expiation is incumbent upon him. How does he expiate for taking his own life? He does not expiate. This was asked about by Muhand, and I told him that there is no expiation upon him. Fine, because he is a reader, how does he know? Glory to Allah the Exalted. He expiates from his estate if he has an estate; from his estate, a slave is purchased and set free, or his awliya (guardians) fast for him two months consecutively. But the correct view is that there is no expiation upon him.
