The Ruling on the Pardoning of the Blood Relatives of the Murdered Person for the Murderer
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success, is the pardon of the blood relatives of the murdered person for the murderer absolutely the best, or does it depend on the public interest? Because the murderer may have killed more than one soul?
Answer:
No, if he is a corrupter in the land and has committed crimes, this is not something to be pardoned. His evil must be stopped from the Muslims. If he has committed crimes, attacks people, and persists in killing, then this is not a matter that belongs solely to the blood relative. It belongs to the entire society, and the authority also has a right in this.
