Sanctity of Suicide According to Voluntary Action Philosophy

Share the post :

The issue of suicide and its legalization, or so-called euthanasia, poses a new problem in the contemporary world. It has prompted renewed research and analysis into the philosophical and theological dimensions, which lies behind the clear prohibition of suicide in Islamic law, and indeed in other laws.

In this research paper, there is an attempt to demonstrate that suicide, as a voluntary act, lacks the principles of human voluntary action. It argues that committing suicide is the opposite of voluntary actions, which humans undertake to search for attainable perfection or a deficient imperfection. This is done by analytically reviewing the issue of voluntary action, and its immediate and distant principles, based on which the extent the act of suicide conforms to these principles, which take into account human dignity.
