finding light
Ya Rab! Forgive me..
:salam2: Brothers and Sisters!
Oh I am so full of questions today.....!
So now I am wondering, Islamically is it permissible to sacrifice your own life in order to spare or save the life of another? For example (extreme case but possible in a lot of countries today) jumping in front of a bullet to save a spouse or mother or father... or trading your life for your loved ones in a hostage situation... This is a conscious decision. Risking your life in order to save another - with an absolute certainty that you will die.
JazakAllah
