The questioner : May Allah reward you, O Shaykh. A person died as a result of a car accident caused by excessive speed. Is it said: This is a door of suicide, or a form of it?
The Shaykh : No, this is not suicide, but rather he killed himself by mistake, if this speed was the cause of the accident. He killed himself by mistake because, if he were asked: Did you speed in order to die? He would say: No. A suicide, if asked: Why did you commit suicide? He wants death. So this person is not a suicide, but it is said: He killed himself by mistake. Yes.
