If a woman fears for her honor and throws herself to her death, is she sinful?
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner : If a woman fears for her honor and throws herself into a river to die out of fear that her honor will be violated...?
The Shaykh : As for her doing this to herself, it is not permissible, never. If her honor is violated, she is a victim of coercion, but going and killing herself, this is never permissible. Even if a person says to another, "Kill yourself, or I will kill you," it is not permissible for him to kill himself.
