The questioner:
Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success. I read in the newspaper yesterday that the guardian of the blood in the scene of the killing had made it a condition for dropping the right of retaliation that he be given two million riyals. So if he is unable to provide the amount, will he be subjected to retaliation, or will he simply be imprisoned? The news mentioned that he would be subjected to retaliation if he does not pay the amount within three months.
The Shaykh:
The Muslims will help him; his relatives, the Muslims will help him. He is not left alone. Yes.
The presenter:
If Allah wills.
The Shaykh:
The Muslims will help him and provide him with the amount, if Allah wills. Yes.
