What is the ruling if a child commits suicide before the age of puberty?.,Dought & clear - ,

child and you commit suicide where would you go.
Praise be to Allaah.
Firstly:
Suicide is a major sin. The Prophet (blessings and peace of Allah be
upon him) stated that the one who commits suicide will be punished
with something like thatwith which he killed himself.
See the answer to question no. 70363
Secondly:
There are known signs of puberty for both males and females. The male
reaches puberty when one of three things happens: emission of maniy
(semen), growth of pubic hair or reaching the age of fifteen years
according to the Hijri calendar, which is a few months before reaching
the age of fifteen according to the Gregorian calendar.
In females, puberty is reached when these three signs occur; in
addition to that there is a fourth sign, namely menstruation.
It is not stipulated that all of these signs should appear; rather
when one of them appears that is sufficient to rule that the
individual has reached puberty.
See also the answer to question no. 70426 and 78591
Thirdly:
Accountability is waived for the child who has not yet reached
puberty,until he reaches that stage, because of the report narrated by
Abu Dawood (4403) and at-Tirmidhi (1423) from 'Ali (may Allah be
pleased with him), that the Prophet (blessings and peace of Allah be
upon him) said: "The Penhas been lifted from three: from the sleeper
until he awakens, from the child until he reaches puberty and from the
insane person until he comes to his senses."
Classed as saheeh by al-Albaani in Irwa' al-Ghaleel, 2/4, no. 297
In al-Mawsoo'ah al-Fiqhiyyah (8/196) it says:
A person becomes accountable for fulfillingobligatory duties and
refraining from haraam actions when he or she reaches puberty; one who
has not reached puberty is not accountable … and (one who has not
reached puberty) is not subject toqisaas (retaliatory punishments) and
hadd punishments, such as those for stealing and slander. However, it
is permissible for him to bedisciplined. End quote.
See also 14/36
A person from whom thePen has been lifted because he is insane or is a
minor is not subject to qisaas (retaliatory punishment) if he injures
or kills someone, whether the minor had reached the age of discernment
or not, because the Prophet (blessings and peace of Allah be upon him)
said: "The Pen has been lifted from three: from the child until he
reaches puberty, from the insaneperson until he comes tohis senses and
from the sleeper until he awakens."
End quote from al-Haawial-Kabeer, 12/181
Ibn Qudaamah (may Allah have mercy on him) said: A minor is not to be
executed (in the case of apostasy), regardless of whether we say that
his apostasy is valid or not, because the child is not subject
topunishment, on the basisthat the rulings on adultery and theft and
other crimes that are subject to hadd punishments are not applicable
to him to him and he cannot be executed in a retaliatory punishment
(qisaas).
End quote from al-Mughni, 10/62
Based on that, there is no punishment in the Hereafter for a child if
he does something before the age of puberty, which is attained when
one of the signs mentioned
