Retaliation in Kind for One Who Kills After Using Narcotics
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success. He says: If a person uses narcotics and then kills someone, is retaliation in kind carried out against him?
Answer:
Why is no retaliation carried out against him? Retaliation is carried out against him, even if he did not kill a person. If he recovers through it, or if his face is directed toward selling it, he is killed. This is because of the decision to kill the one who sells it, the one who promotes it, and the one who brings it in; all of them are killed. Yes.
