A woman killing herself when fearing rape by the enemies


476

Q: If a Muslim woman thinks that Kafir (disbelieving) enemies would rape her, would she be allowed in Islam to kill herself in anyway to protect herself and keep the secrets of the Mujahidin (those fighting in the Cause of Allah)?


A: It is not permissible for her to kill herself, even if she fears to disclose secrets because of coercion. She would be excused if what she feared took place without her consent.May Allah grant us success. May peace and blessings be upon our Prophet Muhammad, his family, and Companions.
