The answer

People should be treated with kindness, benevolence, and goodness, as Allah Almighty says: (And speak to people good words), and the Prophet, peace and blessings be upon him, said: "Deal with people with good manners." Quarrelling and despising a Muslim is a mistake that necessitates repentance, as the Prophet, peace and blessings be upon him, said: "It is enough evil for a person to despise his Muslim brother." A man's suicide is forbidden, but you bear no sin for his act, and seeking forgiveness for him is permissible.
