Contemplating suicide due to social pressure
Question
I need advice for my friend whose sister ran away from home and got married. How should my friend face social pressure? He is very worried. I am afraid that he will commit suicide.
Answer
Tell him that suicide is not an option because if one is trying to avoid grief and escape mental trauma then after suicide he will literally be involved in a million times more grief, pain, and mental trauma.
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.
