Hunger Strike

Question
What is the ruling on hunger strikes?
Answer
I say, and with God's help: If it achieves significant benefits and has a major media impact on a fundamental issue that serves Muslims, then it should not be prevented. It is preferable for the doer to ensure that it does not lead to death, and God knows best.
