The ruling on families and clans sharing in the blood money, where every employee among them is required to contribute

Question:
He says: Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success. Some families and clans all cooperate in paying the blood money for every employee among them, and they consider that whoever leaves this matter is one who abandons it and does not care about it. What is your opinion on that?

Answer:
There is nothing wrong with it if it is cooperation. If they cooperate in this, it is cooperation. However, boycotting those who do not participate or harming them is not permissible. This matter is voluntary, not obligatory. It is voluntary; whoever wishes to participate does so, and whoever wishes not to participate does not, and there is no blame on him if he does not participate. The Hanafis made the 'aqilah (the group responsible for blood money) the people of a specific trade; the carpenters would be the 'aqilah, the people of a trade in the market, the craftsmen are the 'aqilah.
