The Ruling on Hunger Striking Until Death

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
We often hear about hunger striking until death. What is the ruling in Islam regarding this?

Answer:
This hunger strike has no basis. It is aiding the enemies in their malicious objectives. This system has no basis. If it leads to harm to oneself, or to killing oneself, then it is not permissible. This is what we believe regarding this matter. They took this from the enemies of Allah. We do not know of any basis for it.
