Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner:
Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success. A questioner says: If a person is sentenced to qisas (retaliation in kind), is it prescribed to intercede with the heirs of the murdered person? And is this considered good intercession for the sake of forgiveness?
The Shaykh:
Yes, there is nothing wrong with interceding with the one who has the right of qisas for the sake of forgiving freely or forgiving in exchange for blood money. There is nothing wrong with that. Yes.
The questioner:
Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success. A questioner says: By the saying of the Messenger (peace and blessings be upon him)
The Shaykh:
This is not a hudud (fixed Qur'anic punishment) but rather a right belonging to the heirs of the blood. Yes.
