Suicide & Euthanasia - Is the deceased punished by God | Mufti Abu Layth

Mufti Abu Layth explains the concept of suicide and euthanasia from an Islamic perspective and whether the person is punished by God.

[@OmarAbdulMalikDHEdMPASPACPAPro]

AsSalama'laikum dear brother! Greetings from the U.S. I'm a Hospitalist PA. Thank you so much for covering this. Over the years, I have struggled with this issue with some of my patients (e.g. late-stage cancer, advanced degenerative conditions, etc.).

[@asiemmalik736]

Suicide is mental health where the person lacks capacity to make and understand rational decisions, mental health is still Taboo amongst most communities and even more so amongst Muslims. Euthanasia is clearly nuance, health decisions are personal which includes how one dies. Empathy dictates we should allow someone with capacity to make such a decision once all alternatives have been presented 👍🏼

No. Suicide ia not solution

[@fatimaxo4885]

My childhood friend committed suicide… I don’t know the circumstances leading up to it but I pray everyday that she did it due to some mental incapacity … God is merciful to those that don’t know any better… she was such a kind person 😓

[@MuftiAbuLayth]

im so sorry to hear that 😢 May Allah envelop her into His Mercy and may He grant her family ease 🙌❤

[@scarfaceyam145]

God's mercy envelops all

[@khanG-gq9hc]

I think such a video/response was much needed. Allah bless u mufti ❤

[@ammarahsajid2457]

Deep down I have always felt that a person who was genuinely depressed, etc and tried to keep going but eventually committed suicide would be forgiven by God. I would always make dua for someone who would die because of this reason.

[@scarfaceyam145]

Great response to the normally so depressing interpretation we so often get

[@cunningham.s_law]

can you help me find the hadith you mentioned about the angels that ask you at the end of the world if you seeked knowledge or were just a blind follower?

[@naimabegum8532]

This was beautiful, these videos really do enlighten and remind you of the beauty that exists in the world

[@blurclipz2902]

Mufti, you're a legend already, as well as a meme, lol, ❤️

[@MrYusha]

You're very much correct IMHO. Dr. Abdullah al-Khater agrees with this point on suicide on his book, 'Grief and Depression'

[@lifechoices6643]

Everything to be understood according to context

[@nameisthename25]

Bless you

[@faizankut]

Mufti your a real G

[@distantshores3554]

Those who are patient shall preserver. Either way you take it, weather killing oneself with whatever means or euthanasia it is suicide.

[@lifechoices6643]

Majority of the people do not care to seek to interpret the Holy Koran according to context.That is the root cause behind unnecessary confusion

[@meerghalibali4529]

I Agree 💯 with you

[@lifechoices6643]

The context has to be seen

Ive been trying to get this answered, this brother makes it seem being gay is ok but its not, the Quran makes mention these people have transgressed

[@icysaracen3054]

have you met a gay Muslim? I have (a practising one as well) - its not something they choose.

[@GeniusIzz]

I dont think he ever said it was something good or ok.... I think abu layth was aiming at how to deal with these kind of matters through quran and sunnah..

[@Code2Quest]

@@GeniusIzz I would not waste my time posting this alot if he didnt make it seem it was ok.. I didn't say good.. just ok... Watch his video and youll see

[@isaac4thewin]

You naughty naughty you teasing me naughty

[@notionSlave]

“He will experience the presence of God then enter jannah” lol..? Lovely fairy tale.

[@savanasymbat3165]

I don't agree with what you said mofti cause you didn't bring forth your evidence from quran and authentic hadith.

[@dadagujarati]

Lol he did. Idk what other proof your wanted

[@Code2Quest]

Please brother explain this, a man who chooses another man instead of a woman is a man who has transgressed.. "For ye practise your lusts on men in preference to women : ye are indeed a people transgressing beyond bounds

[@MrHater-ft5qy]

This guy set me on time out😂 scared to debate
