Is suicide permitted in Islam?
London, September 23
In a collection of the sayings of Prophet Mohammad, published almost two centuries after his death by Islamic scholar Sahih Bukhari, suicide is clearly proscribed: “Do not kill yourselves, for indeed Allah is Most Merciful to you. Whoever takes his or her own life by any means has unjustly taken a life that Allah has made sacred. Its preservation is a duty incumbent on any individual.” Mohammad’s words ought to provide proof for those in any doubt as to the status of suicide in Islam.
