The ruling on obligating the members of a tribe to pay blood money equally
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
He says: Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success. We are a branch of a tribe that agreed to pay the blood money for any one of the tribe’s members equally, with no distinction between a close relative of the perpetrator and a distant one. If any of the members did not pay, not due to inability, and something happened to him for which we did not pay, and we have committed to this, is there any religious impediment in this agreement?
Answer:
I do not see any religious impediment in it, but compulsion is not permissible. You say, “We will pay on such-and-such day,” and we do not pay. This is compulsion, and this is not permissible. Yes.
