The 'Aqilah bears the blood money for intentional homicide

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner:
He says: Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success, if the 'aqilah bears the blood money for intentional homicide,

The Shaykh:
they bear it.

The questioner:
If the 'aqilah bears the blood money for intentional homicide, is it permissible for them to do so, or is it not permissible?

The Shaykh:
They are not obligated to pay it. However, if they volunteer to pay it or assist, the perpetrator is not at fault, but they are not obligated to do so, just as they are not obligated in the case of accidental homicide with a similar instrument. Yes.
