Abstract
Man is a creature that inherently desires eternal survival and life, and for this purpose has invented methods in which cryonics or human freezing is one of the newest and most advanced and at the same time the most challenging. In this method, it is hoped that the dead person's body can be kept through freezing for a long time and will be revived in the future. Contemporary jurists have forbidden this practice. According to most of them, human freezing is a form of murder if it is before a person's natural death, and if it is then, it is illegal to keep the body and not observe the rituals related to the burial of the dead person. Finally, according to the rule of "Ta'zir for Haram actions", the perpetrators of this illegitimate act can be punished.
