1526. It was narrated from Jābir bin Samurah that a man from among the Companions of the Prophet ﷺ was wounded, and the wound caused him a great deal of pain. He went and took a spearhead, and slaughtered himself with it. The Prophet ﷺ did not offer the funeral prayer for him, and that was an admonition for others. (Sahih)
1526 - حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ اللَّهِ بْنُ عَامِرِ بْنِ زُرَارَةَ قَالَ: حَدَّثَنَا شَرِيكُ بْنُ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ، عَنْ سِمَاكِ بْنِ حَرْبٍ، عَنْ جَابِرِ بْنِ سَمُرَةَ، أَنَّ رَجُلًا مِنْ أَصْحَابِ النَّبِيِّ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ جُرِحَ، فَآذَتْهُ الْجِرَاحَةُ، فَدَبَّ إِلَى مَشَاقِصَ، فَذَبَحَ بِهَا نَفْسَهُ «فَلَمْ يُصَلِّ عَلَيْهِ النَّبِيُّ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ» قَالَ: وَكَانَ ذَلِكَ مِنْهُ أَدَبًا

[1] Al-Taubah 9:84.
Committing suicide is a major sin. A respectable Imâm and a scholar should avoid leading funeral prayer over a person who commits major sins, which will be a lesson for others, and they should try to avoid this sin. However, the people should pray over such a person, and a Muslim should not be buried without funeral prayer.
