It is said that suicide is forbidden in Islam and      that the person who commits suicide is destined to go to hell. Suppose a      person is suffering from a severe case of depression, or some other mental      disease. Should such a person commit suicide, will he also go to hell?          (Name and address withheld)      A. One thing which people often do is to say that such      and such a person will definitely go to heaven or to hell. This is something      over which none other than God has any control. So to suggest that such a      person goes here or there in the hereafter is an affront to God, because it      precipitates His judgment.      There are certain verses of the Qur’an and statements      by the Prophet (peace be upon him) which tell us that those who perpetrate      certain sins will be punished. But then it is up to God to determine what      punishment fits every single case, because God judges us individually, on      the basis of His perfect knowledge of our intentions and conditions.           It is true that suicide is strictly forbidden, because      it is an affront to God. It is like a person saying to God: “You have given      me life and I am taking it away.” This is what is meant by the sacred Hadith      in which God is quoted as saying of the one who commits suicide: “My servant      has precipitated My will with regard to himself! Therefore, I am forbidding      him entry into heaven.” But this Hadith applies to a person in full control      of his faculties, suffering no overpowering adversity and having a      reasonable life. If such a person commits suicide, then may be God will not      allow him in heaven.      A person who commits suicide as a result of a mental      disorder like depression or some other severe form of anxiety is not in full      control of his senses. We cannot say how God will judge such a person, but      we trust to God’s justice, because He does not deal unfairly with anyone. We      pray for the person concerned, and request God to forgive him. When a man      committed suicide during the Prophet’s lifetime, the Prophet was distressed.      He did not perform the janazah prayer for the deceased, but he ordered his      companions to do it. When they did, they prayed for the man and requested      God’s forgiveness for him. This shows that the Prophet did not exclude the      possibility of his being forgiven by God. – Muhammad b. `Ali b. al-Husayn by his isnad from al-Hasan b. Mahbub  from Abu Wallad al-Hannat.  He said: I heard Abu `Abdillah عليه السلام   saying: Whoso kills himself on purpose, then he will be in the fire of  Jahannam forever.[ 35060 ] 2 ـ قال : وقال الصادق ( عليه السلام ) : من قتل نفسه متعمدا فهو  في نار جهنم خالدا فيها ، قال الله عزّ وجلّ : ( ولا تقتلوا أنفسكم إن  الله كان بكم رحيما * ومن يفعل ذلك عدوانا وظلما فسوف نصليه نارا وكان ذلك  على الله يسيرا )  .    2 – He said: And as-Sadiq عليه السلام  said: Whoso kills himself on  purpose, he will be in the fire of Jahannam forever.  Allah, `azza wa  jalla, said “And do not kill yourselves; verily, Allah is merciful unto  you.  But whoso does that maliciously and unjustly, we will broil him  with fire; for that is easy with Allah.”    [ 35061 ] 3 ـ محمد بن يعقوب ، عن محمد بن يحيى ، عن محمد بن الحسين ، عن  صفوان ، عن معاوية بن عمار ، عن ناجية ، عن أبي جعفر ( عليه السلام ) ـ في  حديث ـ قال : إن المؤمن يبتلى بكل بلية ويموت بكل ميتة إلا أنه لا يقتل  نفسه .    3 – Muhammad b. Ya`qub from Muhammad b. Yahya from Muhammad b. al-Husayn  from Safwan from Mu`awiya b. `Ammar from Najiya from Abu Ja`far عليه  السلام  in a hadith (wherein) he said: Verily the believers are  afflicted by every affliction and die by every death except that they do  not kill themselves.[YOUTUBE]24nSgMZnRRo[/YOUTUBE][YOUTUBE]cur_6aYs_7k[/YOUTUBE]</blockquote>
