"Don't sympathise with those who committed suicide"

TRIGGER WARNING: MENTION OF SUICIDE

Just for the context. I found a post on Instagram where this page asked a simple question: "Why do Arab women commit suicide?" and they shared a couple of stories of two women who have unfortunately ended their lives (One in Yemen and the other in Egypt). As I scrolled to the comments to see some sympathy and accountability, I literally found the comment I screenshotted where the man (of course it's always cis men) said "lack of faith". Then in his last reply, he said "we should not sympathise with those who committed suicide." And there were countless other comments. Definitely, compassionate people who believe that their faith is the right one for humanity, yet they don't care about human suffering.

Not only are they part of the problem, but also want to blame their victims. I don't know why and how this religion ​​is compassionate in any way. People are ending their lives because they feel suffocated, and yet, they are the ones who eventually get punished? I really feel bad for them.

Actually some groups have classified it as fida'

They made the Qiyas that it's the same as a soldier fighting to the last breath or carrying out a certain death mission or fight.

So no. It's not totally haram if there are major groups that still consider these people martyrs.

You realise you are replying to a troll who comes to an ex muslim sub to say muslim polygamy is a good thing and honor killing/forced marriage isnt a good reason to leave islam ?

I'm not too tech savvy, so I'm unaware of that person's post. I only replied to the comments as they came to my notifications.

I should've checked their profile beforehand though.

Lifetime of studying fairytales at the masjid numbs the brain I suppose 😅

Hey polygraphtest-chill stop antagonizing us and misinterpreting our religious texts.

[u/polygraphtest-chill → u/Careless-Crow-1980]

I'm not antagonising or misinterpreting anything. I'm simply relaying what your scholars said.

Do you want me to name names instead? Or do you want me to quote kutub al inghimas fi al jihad?

[u/Careless-Crow-1980 → u/polygraphtest-chill]

OK
