\n\tAnswered by <\/strong>Eunus Ali<\/span><\/span><\/span>\n<\/p>\n

\n\tQuestion:<\/strong><\/span><\/span><\/span>\n<\/p>\n

\n\tIf a Muslim drinks alcohol. And commits suicide. Will heBecome Kaffir ,so. Can. We pray. For.His.Magffiraat and. Do. IssaleSawab. Please provide. Reference.For. This query<\/span><\/span><\/span>\n<\/p>\n

\n\tAnswer:<\/strong><\/span><\/span><\/span>\n<\/p>\n

\n\t\"Bismillah\"<\/a>\n<\/p>\n

\n\tImam Tahawi \"ra\u1e25imahull\u0101h has written in his famous book about the Islamic creed titled Al-Aqidah At-Tahawiyyah (Page 21, Dar IbnHazm):<\/span><\/span><\/span>\n<\/p>\n

\n\tWe do not declare any of the people of the Qibla (Muslims) to be disbelievers because of any wrong action (they have done), as long as they do not consider that action lawful. <\/em><\/strong><\/span><\/span><\/span>\n<\/p>\n

\n\tNor do we say that the wrong action of a man who has belief does not have any harmful effect on him. We hope that Allah will pardon the people of right action among the believers and grant them entrance into Paradise through his mercy, but we cannot be sure of this, and we cannot testify that they will be in Paradise. <\/em><\/strong><\/span><\/span><\/span>\n<\/p>\n

\n\tWe ask forgiveness for the people of wrong action among the believers and, although we fear for them, we do not despair (from the mercy of Allah) regarding them.<\/em><\/strong><\/span><\/span><\/span>\n<\/p>\n

\n\tFrom the above passage we come to know that by the mere committing of a haram act will not take one out of the fold of Islam, however it is necessary to acknowledge that the action is haram. If the person was to consider that deed to be halal or lawful, then it would take the person out of Islam. For example: if one was to consider the consumption of swine or alcohol to be halal,it will take the person outside the fold of Islam as this would be rejecting a verse of the Quran. (SharhAl-Aqidah At-Tahawiyyah, Page 215, Dar At-Tadmuriyyah)<\/span><\/span><\/span>\n<\/p>\n

\n\tAs for suicide, it is narrated byThabit bin Ad-Dahhak \"ra\u1e25imahull\u0101h that the Prophet \"\u1e63allall\u0101hu said, "Whoever intentionally swears falsely by a religion other than Islam, then he is what he has said. And whoever commits suicide with piece of iron will be punished with the same piece of iron in the Hell Fire."<\/strong>(SahihBukhari: 1363)<\/span><\/span><\/span>\n<\/p>\n

\n\tIt is the consensus of the Fuqaha (jurist) and the AhlusSunnah that by committing suicide one will not<\/strong> be taken out of the fold of Islam. Nevertheless the act of suicide is forbidden and will make the person sinful. SalatulJanazah will also be performed upon the person. (UmdatulQari,Volume 8, Page 267, Dar Al-Kutub Al-Ilmiyah)<\/span><\/span><\/span>\n<\/p>\n

\n\tIn regards to your question, provided that the deceased did not consider the consumption of alcohol or committing suicide to be halal, they will enjoy the same rights as any other Muslim after death.<\/span><\/span><\/span>\n<\/p>\n

\n\tHenceDua and IsaleThawab can be made for them.<\/span><\/span><\/span>\n<\/p>\n

\n\tOnly Allah knows best<\/span><\/span><\/span>\n<\/p>\n
