Is dying from cancer, which may have been caused by a harmful drink, considered suicide, given prior knowledge of the drink's harm and its potential to cause illness?
There is no harm in drinking energy drinks in principle, as they do not contain prohibited substances such as intoxicants or narcotics. Rather, they contain stimulating and invigorating substances. Potential harms do not result from the drink itself as much as they result from misuse or excessive consumption. Whoever consumes them in moderation benefits from their advantages and avoids their harms. Not everything rumored to be harmful is forbidden to consume; rather, what is forbidden is that whose harm has been clearly proven by specialists. And whoever dies as a result of consuming harmful food without intending suicide is not considered a suicide.
