Is The One Who Died In a Car Accident Due To Speeding Guilty of Committing Suicide?

Written by abumuaawiyah on February 28, 2016. Posted in Fatawa-Rulings, Islamic Jurisprudence - 'Fiqh', Scholars of Islam.

Question to Imaam Muhammad Ibn Saaleh Al-Uthaymeen (rahimahullaah):

A person died in a car accident due to excessive speeding; is it said that this is tantamount to suicide?

Answer

No, this is not suicide; rather he killed himself by mistake. If speeding was the cause of the accident, then indeed he killed himself by mistake. That is because if he were asked (i.e. whilst he is alive): ‘’Were you speeding in order to be killed?’’ He will say ‘’No’’. So this (i.e. the death of this individual) is not considered to be suicide, rather it should be said that he killed himself by mistake.

Is The One Who Died Due To Smoking Guilty of Committing Suicide?!

The questioner asked Imaam Muhammad Bin Saaleh Al-Uthaymeen (rahimahullaah) whether a person who died due to smoking is considered to have committed suicide! So the Shaikh (rahimahullaah) asked the questioner: ‘’Do you think that the smoker smokes in order to die?’’ The questioner said: ‘’No’’. The Shaikh (rahumahullaah) said to the questioner: ‘’Therefore, he is not one who has committed suicide. There is a difference between the one who intends to kill himself and the one who does not intend to do so. However, when it is the case that the harm of smoking leads to death, then this the strongest proof that smoking is haraam and I have no doubt that it is haraam, due to the harm it causes to the body, wealth and the manners of a person. Do you not know that the smoker may compromise his honour if he cannot find cigarettes?! Anyway, we do not doubt that smoking is haraam, but we do not say that the smoker is one who has killed himself (i.e. suicide) because he does not intend to kill himself.

People of Falsehood Differ and Argue against Each Other, but they Unite against Ahlus Sunnah- By Shaikh Muhammad Amaan Al-Jaami

Written by abumuaawiyah on February 27, 2016. Posted in Deviated Groups, Sects and Parties, Innovations In Islam (Bidah), Scholars of Islam.

Shaikh Muhammad Amaan Al-Jaami (rahimahullaah) stated that even though the people of falsehood argue against each other and are in opposition to each other; however they are agreed upon waging war against the Sunnah and Ahlus Sunnah. This is something that took place in the past up until this present day. You will find that the people of falsehood differ (i.e. all of them upon divergent paths of falsehood) and they argue against each other, and they may even excommunicate each other; but if there is a general benefit for all of them, they come together -in agreement with each other- against Ahlus Sunnah….paraphrased and abridged

Some Unrestricted and General Speech Leads To Corruption When Unaccompanied By Detail and Clarification

Imaam Ibnul Qayyim (rahimahullaah) said:

[فعلَيْكَ بالتَّفصِيلِ والتَّمييزِ فالإطْلاَقُ والإجمَالُ دُونَ بَيَا قَدْ أفْسَدَا هَذَا الوُجُودَ وخَبَّطَا الأذْهَانَ والآراءَ كُلَّ زَمَانِ ]

So upon you is that (you) detail (affairs) and make a distinction, for unrestricted and general (speech) without clarification has indeed corrupted this existence (i.e. the world), and (led) intellects and views (of the people) astray in every era.

This is how far our Salaf disassociated themselves from ahlul bidah!

قال أبو الجوزاء

لِأَنْ أجالس الخنازير أحب إِلَيَّ من أن أجالس أحدا من أهل الأهواء

Abul Jawzaa (rahimahullaah) said:

That I should sit with pigs is more beloved to me than that I should sit with anyone from the people of desires (i.e. ahlul bidah)

Abu Dardaa [radiyallaahu-anhu] used to have a camel called Damoon, and whenever the people hired it from him, he would say, ‘’Do not make it carry such and such, for indeed it is not able to carry more than that.’’ When death came to him, he said, ‘’O Damoon! Do not argue against me to my Lord on the morrow, for indeed I never used to make you carry except what you were able to.’’
