Question:
If the perpetrator is in the position of retaliation, and the father of the murdered person waives his right to retaliation while the rest of his children do not, is the father's waiver accepted, or is it necessary for the children to waive their rights along with him?
Answer:
May Allah guide you. This has passed by you. If the right to retaliation is shared among several partners, and some of them, or one of them, permits it, then the retaliation is dropped and they turn to blood money. They turn to blood money because retaliation cannot be partial. Retaliation cannot be partial. So if part of it is dropped, the whole of it is dropped. And they turn to blood money, yes.
