The ruling on killing a person by striking him in anger

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Honorable Shaykh! What is the ruling if a person kills another person without intending to kill him, but rather he struck him, and the severity of the strike caused his death, but the only reason for that was his anger for the sake of Allah, meaning for the sake of the religion?

Answer:
This is the case of the slave who is nearly free; it is called the case of the slave who is nearly free. In this case, the blood money is severe. The case of the slave who is nearly free is when he intends the act but does not intend the killing; he intends to strike him but does not intend to kill him. This is the case of the slave who is nearly free. As for the slave, he is the one who intends to kill him. In this case, the blood money is severe. This is forty camels, one hundred sheep, and one hundred she-camels.
