- Psychiatrists challenge FSC ruling on suicide attempts
Psychiatrists challenge a court ruling that declared decriminalizing suicide attempts repugnant to Islamic law, arguing no Quranic, Sunnah, or jurisprudential mandate exists for criminal punishment. They assert criminalizing suicide attempts discourages medical assistance and fails to align with Islamic legal principles distinguishing religious culpability from worldly penalties.
