Ruling On A Child That Committed Suicide Before The Age Of Puberty by Lukgaf(m): 12:44pm On Jan 11, 2018
Praise be to Allaah.

Firstly

Suicide is a major sin. The Prophet (blessings and peace of Allah be upon him) stated that the one who commits suicide will be punished with something like that with which he killed himself.

See the answer to question no. 70363

Secondly

There are known signs of puberty for both males and females. The male reaches puberty when one of three things happens: emission of maniy (semen), growth of pubic hair or reaching the age of fifteen years according to the Hijri calendar, which is a few months before reaching the age of fifteen according to the Gregorian calendar.

In females, puberty is reached when these three signs occur; in addition to that there is a fourth sign, namely menstruation.

It is not stipulated that all of these signs should appear; rather when one of them appears that is sufficient to rule that the individual has reached puberty.


Thirdly

Accountability is waived for the child who has not yet reached puberty, until he reaches that stage, because of the report narrated by Abu Dawood (4403) and at-Tirmidhi (1423) from ‘Ali (may Allah be pleased with him), that the Prophet (blessings and peace of Allah be upon him) said: “The Pen has been lifted from three: from the sleeper until he awakens, from the child until he reaches puberty and from the insane person until he comes to his senses.”

Classed as saheeh by al-Albaani in Irwa’ al-Ghaleel, 2/4, no. 297

In al-Mawsoo‘ah al-Fiqhiyyah (8/196) it says:

A person becomes accountable for fulfilling obligatory duties and refraining from haraam actions when he or she reaches puberty; one who has not reached puberty is not accountable … and (one who has not reached puberty) is not subject to qisaas (retaliatory punishments) and hadd punishments, such as those for stealing and slander. However, it is permissible for him to be disciplined. End quote.



A person from whom the Pen has been lifted because he is insane or is a minor is not subject to qisaas (retaliatory punishment) if he injures or kills someone, whether the minor had reached the age of discernment or not, because the Prophet (blessings and peace of Allah be upon him) said: “The Pen has been lifted from three: from the child until he reaches puberty, from the insane person until he comes to his senses and from the sleeper until he awakens.”

End quote from al-Haawi al-Kabeer, 12/181

Ibn Qudaamah (may Allah have mercy on him) said: A minor is not to be executed (in the case of apostasy), regardless of whether we say that his apostasy is valid or not, because the child is not subject to punishment, on the basis that the rulings on adultery and theft and other crimes that are subject to hadd punishments are not applicable to him to him and he cannot be executed in a retaliatory punishment (qisaas).

End quote from al-Mughni, 10/62

Based on that, there is no punishment in the Hereafter for a child if he does something before the age of puberty, which is attained when one of the signs mentioned above appears.

See rulings again! Which way of life is more explicit and detailed like Islam? No doubt none exist! We Muslims just need a lots of Knowledge and understanding of Tawheed first. And i hope those who says Islam is synonymous to suicide bombing can start their research from here.
May Allah grant us understanding.

But isn’t it exhausting ? This detailed, regimented life? We as humans have our flesh to deal with and it’s impossible to acquiesce and abide by all these rules and doctrines. That’s why I really dont blame people who turn into atheists because they realize that they are bound and chained by religion.

Islam is a religion that is clear. You know yourself, what you do and don't. You k know what is right from wrong. There are rules to abide with. The choice is left to you.

I don't need to make that research for you! Use google and search for Christian terorrist , Jewish terrorists, atheist terrorist, etc.

No doubt some Muslim may err in this regard but that should not be blamed on the Majority.

I think being an Atheist is the worst kind of state of mind.

At the end if God exists, Atheist loose...

And on the so many rules in Islam: Why are we quick in obeying man-made laws but always complain about the Creator's law? Islam is a total way of life!

To achieve the best (Paradise) hard work is needed.

To Achieve the worst (Hell) hard work is also needed.

Now you can define the kind of hard work you need and where you aspire to be in the end!

Suicide bombing was given a green light the day sharia law was introduced in northern States ( radical Islam ) it has come to stay as long as the few Claver ones amongst them are making profit from it and at the same time damaging the images of Islam
