Is it permissible to undertake a hunger strike in prison to claim one's rights?

Answer

It is not permissible to go on a hunger strike which will lead to death. Prison is a sort of hell – and a filthy, immoral hell. There are no rights in that hell. Have sabr, recite Istighfaar in abundance, pledge to Allah Ta'ala that you will make amends for any rights of people you may have usurped or violated, and make much dua to be freed from the clutches of the barbarian zaalimeen.
