If a person is tortured and cannot bear the torture, is it permissible for him to commit suicide? And if a woman is subjected to rape, is it permissible for her to commit suicide?

The questioner : He saysThe questioner : Shaykh, may Allah reward you, there is a fatwa from the Islamic Group in Egypt. If one of the members of the group is captured and subjected to torture until he confesses about the members of his group, they permitted him to commit suicide. Likewise, the question that follows, O Shaykh, is related to it: In Bosnia and Herzegovina, if a woman is subjected to rape, is it permissible for her to commit suicide in defense of herself or her honor?

The Shaykh : It is not permissible for a Muslim man or woman to commit suicide, because what may befall him or her in the form of killing or violation of honor is not something for which they are held accountable, as it is not of their own doing. However, his or her committing suicide is of their own doing, and it is not permissible for a Muslim to commit suicide, because this suicide is, in most cases, evidence of objection to the decree and destiny of Allah. Therefore, the Muslim should be steadfast and arm himself with patience, as Allah the Mighty and Majestic said: I must say a word, and it will be the conclusion of this session, because the time is nearly over. I say that this ruling, specifically from the Islamic Group, they claimed that they issued a fatwa to some, or issued a fatwa to themselves and their members, that if one is captured by the unjust ruler, it is permissible for him to commit suicide. Where did this ruling come from? Did not the first Muslims suffer from what these later people suffered? Did the Messenger (peace and blessings be upon him) issue them a fatwa like this? This comes first from ignorance of the Book and the Sunnah, and second from hastening to establish what is obligatory, which is establishing the ruling of Islam by the Book and the Sunnah. How can one establish the ruling by the Book and the Sunnah when he issues a hasty fatwa contrary to the Book and the Sunnah? Therefore, it was said:
"Whoever hastens a matter before its time is tested with its deprivation." We ask Allah the Mighty and Majestic to inspire us to follow the path of the righteous predecessors, and to grant us and you a good life, and praise be to Allah, Lord of the worlds.
