    Bismillah hir-Rahman nir-Rahim !

    (Fatwa: 702/697=M)

     

    Committing suicide is a major sin, but this does not make a person kafir until one commits considering it lawful. And, since it is difficult to find out; therefore regarding him a Muslim his salah of janazah will be performed: فی الدر المختار: من قتل نفسہ ولو عمداً یغسل و یصلی علیہ الخ
