What is the punishment for someone who accused the Messenger, peace and blessings be upon him, of suicide?
If someone who was a Muslim reviles the Prophet (peace be upon him), they are to be executed as a prescribed punishment (hadd) and are not to be asked to repent. In the Hereafter, a humiliating torment awaits them. If the person was originally a disbeliever, they are to be executed unless they promptly embrace Islam. Everyone who harms Allah or His prophets is cursed and expelled from His mercy. Allah Almighty says: "Indeed, those who abuse Allah and His Messenger—Allah has cursed them in this world and the Hereafter and has prepared for them a humiliating punishment." (Qur’an 33:57). The implementation of prescribed punishments is the responsibility of the Muslim ruler or his deputy.
