سَمِعْتُ أَبَا عَبْدِ اللَّهِ ع يَقُولُ مَنْ قَتَلَ نَفْسَهُ مُتَعَمِّداً فَهُوَ فِي نَارِ جَهَنَّمَ خالِداً فِيها قِيلَ لَهُ أَ رَأَيْتَ إِنْ كَانَ أَوْصَى بِوَصِيَّةٍ ثُمَّ قَتَلَ نَفْسَهُ مُتَعَمِّداً مِنْ سَاعَتِهِ تُنْفَذُ وَصِيَّتُهُ قَالَ إِنْ كَانَ أَوْصَى قَبْلَ أَنْ يُحْدِثَ حَدَثاً فِي نَفْسِهِ مِنْ جِرَاحَةٍ أَوْ فِعْلٍ أُجِيزَتْ وَصِيَّتُهُ فِي ثُلُثِهِ وَ إِنْ كَانَ أَوْصَى بِوَصِيَّةٍ وَ قَدْ أَحْدَثَ فِي نَفْسِهِ جِرَاحَةً أَوْ فِعْلًا لَعَلَّهُ يَمُوتُ لَمْ تُجَزْ وَصِيَّتُهُ.

Hadith.5470 - Al-Hasan ibn Mahbub narrated from Abu Walad, who said: I heard Abu Abdullah Imam Jafar ibn Muhammad Al-Sadiq (as) say: "Whoever intentionally kills himself will be in the Fire of Hell, abiding therein forever." Imam (as) was asked: "What if he had made a will (waṣiyyah) and then deliberately killed himself immediately after? Will his will be carried out?" Imam (as) replied: "If he made the will before committing any harmful act against himself, whether by injury or any other action, then his will is valid regarding one-third of his wealth. However, if he made the will after having already harmed himself - by injuring himself or committing an act intending death - then his will is not valid."
