Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
The questioner, Naif al-Qahtani, asks: What is the ruling on the financial funds that tribes establish to cover blood money, whether for intentional murder, accidental killing, or other offenses less than taking a life, whether intentional or accidental?
Answer:
Compulsion is not permissible; taking people's money by compulsion without right is not allowed. Cooperation is a good thing, but it must be without compulsion. This is cooperation among relatives and the 'asabah (residuary male heirs). The judge imposes the blood money on them, each according to his ability, in the case of accidental killing. Yes.
The presenter:
May Allah reward you, Your Eminence the Shaykh
