Giving a 4th stage cancer patient the death injection to free them from suffering
Question
My mother is suffering from lung cancer stage 4 last stage from last year. Now she has unbearable pain. So can we give her a death injection to make her free from pain?
Answer
This is not permissible. This is tantamount to murder. How can one be instrumental in killing his own mother?
And Allah Ta'ala (الله تعالى) knows best.
