The Ruling on the Family Bearing the Blood Money for Intentional Killing
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
He says: Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success, if the family (aqilah) bears the blood money for intentional killing, is it permissible for them to do so, or is it not permissible?
Answer:
They are not obligated to bear it. However, if they volunteer to pay it and help the ignorant person, there is no harm in that. But they are not obligated to do so, just as they are not obligated to bear the blood money for accidental killing, which is treated like a work of negligence.
