Question

Is it still not permissible to end your life if you can't take it anymore and if the hurting becomes more than bearable? What should you do if that's the only option left for you?

Answer

Move away to a place where you will not suffer hurt and injury. To take away life is impermissible under all conditions.

And Allah Ta'ala (الله تعالى) knows best.

Fatawa SA is an independent, read-only index of fatawa already published by Mufti Online — Madrasah Ta'leemuddeen. It is not a fatwa service. For your own situation, ask the issuing Darul Ifta directly.
