The ruling on blood money when the guarantors are poor and the perpetrator is wealthy
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Honorable Shaykh, if the guarantors are one or two men and they are poor, while the perpetrator is wealthy, what is the ruling?
Answer:
If there are no guarantors, or if the guarantors are poor and unable to pay, the blood money falls on the perpetrator, because the default ruling is that it is his responsibility. They only take it on as a duty imposed on them. If no one is found to bear it, it is returned to the perpetrator.
