Default Am I allowed to kill this person? (Euthanasia) - 04-25-2008

Selam aleykum,

My younger sister just gave me a scenario in which she asked for the Islamic ruling in and I wondered and at some point I know what the answer might be, but nothing I came to think of seemed absolute, and maybe there is no absolute answer?

Scenario: A man or woman, totally handicapped, can't move, can hardly breath, can't live without help but still the brain is functionate so that the person sees everything and does hear and know what is going on, but cannot move from tip to toe. This person is asking to get help to die. He or she is totally miserable and the truth is, they won't function ever again and can't do anything ever again, so their sorrow is more than justified.

Is this allowed?
I know to kill oneself is forbidden, but what if another person killed him/her?
Or does the thought/or call for help 'I want to die' be enough to proclaim the person commited suicide even though someone else killed them?


I hope my last question is understandable.

JazakAllahu kheyrun.
