Is someone considered a suicide if they stopped taking a medication prescribed by their doctor, who told them that not taking it would expose them to death, knowing that they did not intend to commit suicide but rather grew tired of the excessive medication and the long duration of treatment, and then died?

Scholars have differed on the ruling of seeking medical treatment (Tadawi) between permissibility (Ibahah) and desirability (Istihbab). Some scholars hold the view that refraining from it is better, while the Dhahiris and Shafi'is made it obligatory when benefit is certain. The basis for seeking medical treatment is the Hadith: "Seek medical treatment, O servants of Allah." The preferred opinion is the permissibility of seeking medical treatment, unless it is highly probable that refraining from medication will lead to death, in which case it becomes obligatory to take it; due to Allah's prohibition against killing oneself and throwing oneself into destruction. Refraining from medical treatment when one has the ability and knowledge of its benefit is a sin, but it is not considered suicide.
