Question:
Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success, he says: If a person owes blood money for intentional killing and is unable to pay it, is it permissible for me to urge my tribe to hasten the payment of zakah and give it to him for his benefit?
Answer:
Yes, there is nothing wrong with it. The blood money for intentional killing is upon the killer; the 'aqilah (kin group) does not bear it. So if he is unable to pay it, he is given from the zakah, because he is a debtor for himself. Yes.
