Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Perhaps this is the last question. The questioner says: A man became indebted with a large sum of blood money for a killing, and men set out to collect this blood money, and they collected it, but the amount exceeded the blood money, and the one who collected this blood money distributed the surplus among themselves on the basis that they were the workers on it.
Answer:
This is in the case of zakah, not in the case of blood money. The workers on it, this is in the case of zakah, not in the case of collecting blood money. This is one point. The second point is that it is obligatory for him to return the amounts to the people who donated them, unless they permit it and say, “Distribute it, there is no harm.” As for his disposing of it on his own, this is not permissible. Yes.
