The Ruling on Retaliation (Qisas) for a Father Against His Son
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner:
My father killed my mother unjustly and oppressively, and there is no one to demand retaliation except me, and I have already pardoned him and released him from prison.
The Shaykh:
You have no right to retaliation against him; even if you had not pardoned him, you would have no right to retaliation against him. A son is not subject to retaliation for his father.
The questioner:
May Allah reward you. In the continuation of his question, he asks: Am I included in the saying of the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) so he frees him? And is the intended meaning of the hadith that he has fulfilled his right before Allah Sunan Ibn Majah 4336Da’if (Darussalam) and nothing remains upon him?
The Shaykh:
I say that you have no right to retaliation against him until you pardon him; Allah has not given you the right to retaliation against him until you pardon him. However, you are required to be dutiful to him. If you want reward and recompense, you are required to be dutiful to him and treat him with kindness. Yes.

(peace and blessings be upon him): A son will not compensate his father except if he finds him as a slave, in which case he frees him.

However, you are required to be dutiful to him. If you want reward and recompense, you are required to be dutiful to him and treat him with kindness. Yes.
