The Ruling on Interceding for Pardon for the Murderer After the Ruling of Retaliation Has Been Issued

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
The questioner: What is the ruling on interceding or requesting a pardon for the murderer from the family of the victim, as happens in the present time, after the court of Islamic law has issued the ruling of retaliation?

Answer:
There is no harm in that. This is a right belonging to the created being. Retaliation is a right belonging to the created being. So if retaliation is established for a person, there is no harm in seeking a pardon for him or in paying blood money. There is no harm in it, because this is a right belonging to the created being. Yes.
