Wasalam bro, are you looking to learn more about a specific situation? Or are you just trying to explore the topic at a broad level?

I'm guessing you're hinting at someone sacrificing their life to save others, which isn't technically the same as suicide. Even if it leads to the same outcome to the person dying, the intention is different in both cases, and as we know from the famous hadith, actions are judged by intentions.

Ultimately if you're looking for a specific answer for a specific case, you should reach out to a local Muslim scholar you trust, but I hope I gave you a little more clarity on how to approach your understanding of the topic.

Thanks brother, it wasn't really a specific situation, but more just dying from one's own hands to save others. Hope that clarifies

In general hypotheticals aren't really the best way to get a fiqh opinion on something. Gotta have a specific situation to rule on.

Why does bro always have to go for the worse possibilities

Bros been watching too much anime xd

Jokes aside, I remember a discussion on act utilitarianism and how this belief deems it ethical, altho I am not sure what Islam would prioritise, I think Jublani gave a better answer in this case
