Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
The questioner says: What is the ruling on one who kills the killer of his brother, and he is in a country that is not governed by the law of Allah? Does he have the right to retaliation? May Allah reward you with good.
Answer:
Retaliation is not established except by the ruling of the judge. This matter is chaos; he rules for himself regarding retaliation. This is not permissible. Only the Shari'ah court rules on retaliation. Yes, retaliation has conditions. Retaliation has conditions that must be met. And these conditions are not applied except by the judge. He sees whether the conditions are met or not met, and he rules on retaliation or does not rule on it. So the matter is not chaos. Everyone kills and says, "This is retaliation." This is not acceptable. For this reason, blood is spilled. Yes.
