The questioner : What is the criterion for liability? Liability is defined by a criterion.
The Shaykh : As I told you a moment ago, the criterion for liability is that it results from negligence or transgression. This is the criterion.
The questioner : It is issued as a value, meaning in currency, or written.
The Shaykh : It differs. If it was intentional aggression, then the killer is executed if the awliya (close friends of Allah) of the murdered person demand it.
The questioner : And the criterion for blood money.
The Shaykh : If it was accidental or quasi-intentional, then blood money is due, and there is no retaliation.
