 The Islamic Ruling on
Euthanasia
Active euthanasia
where patients may end their lives by, for example, lethal
injenction is impermissible under any
circumstances.
Passive euthanasia
where patients may withhold treatment or artificial
life-support is only permissible if a trustworthy, reliable
opinion and specialist feels that there is no hope of
survival.
And Allah Ta'ala Knows
Best.
