Considering the Best Interest in Forgiving the Repeat Killer
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
And if you are honored by Allah, does He consider the best interest in the matter of forgiveness and retaliation, such that this killer often kills and is often forgiven, and the victim's family has no say, saying, "Do not forgive this one," or not?
Answer:
This is within the authority of the ruler. If he is one who frequently commits aggression and frequently raids people's homes, he is considered among those who cause corruption on earth, and his case is left to the ruler to punish him with a deterrent penalty.
