And they would contact, like their local Janaza center, or contact
whoever in their city to, you know, prepare the body for burial
and bury the body. And they're refused, and
they were told, for even that these people cannot be buried in a
Muslim graveyard, SubhanAllah.
And God knows how these people were buried. This goes against
Sunni methahib In fiqh very clearly, say that it's faulty to
pray the janezah on every Muslim,
and also in our aqidah, the only sin that we believe is not
forgiven if someone dies on shirk.
The reason I say that is oftentimes in my experience in
talking to clinicians, and if there's any clinicians here,
please feel free to chime in in the comments and let me know if
I'm wrong. My experience with people who've committed suicide is
that oftentimes there is some sort of underlying mental health issue,
and if that's the case, then we know they're forgiven because the
Prophet sallallahu salaam mentioned the hadith of Sayyidina
Adi, we understand it's an analogy to this, that anyone that has any
type of serious challenge, whether it's a mental health challenge or
whether it is a challenge related to depression, there is
dispensation for them, Islam is a dean of Rahma Islam. Islam is a
deen of mercy, and it's a deen of removing hardship. So.
