Punishment in the Hereafter for a person who committed suicide
Question
If a person commits suicide, does the person go straight to hell?
Answer
What happens in the Hereafter is known only to Allah Ta`ala. This is the punishment and law for suicide. It is left to Allah Ta`ala to decide to execute punishment or to waive off the punishment.
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.
