Who has the right to drop the right of retaliation from the killer

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
And other than that, there are the rights of the blood. Who are those who have the ability to drop the retaliation from the one who was killed?

Answer:
The awliya (close friends of Allah) who have the ability to drop the right of retaliation from the killer are the awliya of the blood, as you heard. No one else has this right. Whoever is not among the awliya of the blood has no right to intervene.
