Dividing the blood money among the kin and refusing to participate

The questioner:
He says: Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success, is the blood money divided equally among the kin? And does any one of them have the right to refuse

The Shaykh:
It is divided according to their ability, based on their wealth and poverty. The rich person bears more than the non-rich person.

The questioner:
And does any one of them have the right to refuse to participate?

The Shaykh:
No, this is a legal ruling that is obligatory upon him. It is obligatory upon him by the Shari'ah, so he does not refuse.

The questioner:
He says: Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success, it is called upon him

The Shaykh:
This is voluntary. This is not a matter of voluntary giving; this is a matter of obligation. Now, if he died and you came to take your inheritance from him? Would you refuse and say, "I do not want the inheritance"? If the kinship comes, you say, "I do not want it, I refuse." This is not acceptable.
