The liability of the killer for the blood money of quasi-intentional homicide

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
The case of the Shaykh, may Allah grant you success, is that the ruling on the 'aqilah regarding quasi-intentional homicide is that the killer does not bear any of it, not even a single share.

Answer:
Yes, indeed. The position of the majority of scholars is that the perpetrator does not bear any of it, ever. He is required to perform the expiation; the expiation is sufficient for him. He must free a slave, or if he cannot, fast for two consecutive months. The expiation is sufficient for him, and they assist him with money. Yes.
