The Ruling on Blood Money and Expiation for the Intentional Killing of a Dhimmi

Machine translationRead the Arabic original

Question:
Honorable Shaykh, if a Muslim intentionally kills a dhimmi, is the blood money paid to the dhimmi's family? Yes.

Answer:
It is paid to the dhimmi's kin, just as it is for a Muslim. His non-Muslim relatives inherit from him. Expiation is also obligatory; expiation is obligatory for the killing of a person under a treaty, a dhimmi, or a person granted safe conduct. Expiation is obligatory,

and if he was from a people with whom you have a treaty - then a compensation payment presented to his family and the freeing of a believing slave

وَإِن كَانَ مِن قَوْمٍ بَيْنَكُمْ وَبَيْنَهُم مِّيثَاقٌ فَدِيَةٌ مُّسَلَّمَةٌ إِلَىٰ أَهْلِهِ وَتَحْرِيرُ رَقَبَةٍ مُّؤْمِنَةٍ

[An-Nisa 4:92]

. Yes.
