Question:
He says: Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success, if the murderer is not of sound mind due to his intoxication, is retaliation carried out against him?
Answer:
Yes, so that this is not taken as a means to kill people. He drinks khamr (intoxicants) and slaughters for him, yes. No, retaliation is carried out against him. That is, he commits two crimes: he drinks khamr and kills a soul, and then says, "That's it, leave him alone." Yes.
