Question:
Some prisoners in the lands of disbelief kill themselves out of fear of apostasy from the religion due to the excessive torture the disbelievers inflict on them. Does this fall under this hadith?
Answer:
Yes, they fall under this hadith. They must be patient with the trial and test, hold fast to their religion, and be patient with the trial and test. If the disbelievers kill them, they are martyrs. But if they kill themselves, they are in the Fire. This is not permissible for them. Yes.
