Contemplating suicide due to social pressure

Answered as per Hanafi Fiqh by Muftionline.co.za

Q: I need advice for my friend whose sister ran away from home and got married. How should my friend face social pressure? He is very worried. I am afraid that he will commit suicide.

Bismillaah

A: Tell him that suicide is not an option because if one is trying to avoid grief and escape mental trauma then after suicide he will literally be involved in a million times more grief, pain, and mental trauma.

And Allah Ta’ala (الله تعالى) knows best.
