'''Euthanasia''' means ending a person's life at their request or without it, by another person, with the intention of relieving them from unbearable pain and suffering or an incurable illness. This act may be performed using a lethal substance or by withdrawing essential care. Euthanasia is either performed by the patient, which jurists consider suicide, or it is performed by a physician or another person, which is divided into active and passive types.

'''Euthanasia''' (in persian: [[:fa:اتانازی|اتانازی]]) means ending a person's life at their request or without it, by another person, with the intention of relieving them from unbearable pain and suffering or an incurable illness. This act may be performed using a lethal substance or by withdrawing essential care. Euthanasia is either performed by the patient, which jurists consider suicide, or it is performed by a physician or another person, which is divided into active and passive types.

In active euthanasia, a physician or another person commits the act of killing a patient who is suffering from an illness with no hope of recovery. According to contemporary jurists, active euthanasia is forbidden (*haram*), and its performance establishes the right of retribution (*qisas*) or blood money (*diyah*) for the deceased's heirs. Passive euthanasia, meaning withholding treatment from an incurable patient, is also forbidden; however, there is a difference of opinion among jurists regarding the necessity of retribution or payment of blood money.
