*'''Indirect Euthanasia:''' Lethal drugs are made available to an incurable patient to end their own life,<ref>Qasemi, *Danshnamah-i Fiqh-i Pizishki*, 2016, vol. 3, p. 323.</ref> or drugs are prescribed that have death as a consequence.<ref>Parsapour et al., "Euthanasia, Explanation and Ethical Analysis," p. 3.</ref>

The jurisprudential discussion of euthanasia is separate from the topic of [[~~brain-dead~~]] patients. Thus, a jurist might permit disconnecting life support from a brain-dead patient or a patient in a coma with no hope of recovery, but the same jurist would consider passive euthanasia—withholding treatment out of compassion—to be forbidden (haram).<ref>For example, see Makarem Shirazi, Naser, *Istifta'at-i Jadid*, vol. 1, pp. 479-480; Khoei & Tabrizi, *Ahkam-i Jami'-i Masa'il-i Pizishki*, p. 280; Khoei, *Fiqh al-A'dhar al-Shar'iyya wa al-Masa'il al-Tibbiyya*, p. 198.</ref>
