The questioner:
This questioner says: Is intercession permissible in a case of murder with the blood avengers?
The Shaykh:
Asking them to pardon the retaliation is a good intercession. That is fine. Yes.

May Allah reward you, Honorable Shaykh,
The questioner:
This questioner says: One who errs in the matter of intercession.
The Shaykh:
Retaliation is the right of a created being. So, interceding with a created being to drop his right is a good thing. But as for the limits of Allah, which belong to Allah and not to created beings, intercession in them is not permissible. Yes.
