At different stages of life, when a person goes home in various kinds of misery and difficulties or the solution of the problems and misery does not come out as intended, he does not refrain from taking extreme measures like suicide in a state of great sorrow and grief. I do not have the courage to face any more setbacks. This inappropriate move is not well received in any society. Islam also forbids this practice. The abode of those who do so is none other than Hell. While in the law of the land this measure is not a bad thing and is not reprehensible because every person owns his own caste, and he has full authority to dispose of it. However, attempted suicide is a crime. But if a person suffers from an incurable disease or an incurable and fatal disease at any age, he is unable to meet his personal needs and the pain is extreme. No matter where the patient is, his family and friends are in great pain. Similarly, some patients are permanently anesthetized with medication and equipment to reduce the severity of the pain. In this case, if these measures are not taken, it becomes difficult for the patient to survive and his suffering increases. At such a time, the patient himself or his close relatives want the life of such a patient to be non-existent, so why not bring him to the brink of death by appropriate measures. In this way the patient will also get rid of the unbearable pain and his friends will also get rid of the worries that are due to the care and service of the patient. In modern medicine, this process is called lifelessness, for which the term Mercy Killing is also used. It can also be called medical death.
