Question:
He says: Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success, is the pardon of the awliya of the murdered person for the killer permissible? Allah the Exalted said:[Al-An'am 6:151]
Answer:
And as for the one who kills, yes.[Al-Isra 17:33] The authority is for the one entitled to the blood money. He is the one who has the right, and he is the authority in this matter, as [Al-Isra 17:33].
He says: Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success, is the pardon of the awliya of the murdered person for the killer permissible? Allah the Exalted said:
And do not kill the soul which Allah has forbidden [to be killed] except by [legal] right
وَلَا تَقْتُلُوا النَّفْسَ الَّتِي حَرَّمَ اللَّهُ إِلَّا بِالْحَقِّAnswer:
And as for the one who kills, yes.
And whoever is killed unjustly - We have given his heir authority
وَمَن قُتِلَ مَظْلُومًا فَقَدْ جَعَلْنَا لِوَلِيِّهِ سُلْطَانًاWe have given his heir authority, but let him not exceed limits in [the matter of] taking life. Indeed, he has been supported [by the law].
جَعَلْنَا لِوَلِيِّهِ سُلْطَانًا فَلَا يُسْرِف فِّي الْقَتْلِ إِنَّهُ كَانَ مَنصُورًا
