The Ruling on Retaliation Against a Drunk Murderer
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
He says: Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success, if the murderer is not in his right mind due to his intoxication, is retaliation carried out against him?
Answer:
Yes, because this should not be taken as a means to kill people. He drinks khamr (intoxicants) and it is profitable for him, meaning he commits two crimes: he drinks intoxicants and he kills a soul. And then they say, "That is enough, leave him alone?" Yes.
