Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
The Shaykh said: If a man has slaves and one of them kills a free person, is retaliation carried out against him?
Answer:
Retaliation is not carried out between a free person and a slave. In Sahih al-Bukhari, from the hadith of 'Ali (may Allah be pleased with him)Sunan ad-Daraqutni 14:139 This is the view of the majority of scholars; only the Hanafis disagreed on this. The Hanafis hold that a free person is killed for a slave, based on the generality of the saying of Allah the Exalted: [Al-Ma'idah 5:45]. Sunan an-Nasa'i 4721Sahih (Darussalam) until he said: "and a soul for a soul." This is the view of the Hanafis. As for the majority, they say that "a soul for a soul" specifies the soul by the soul, specifying the saying of the Messenger (peace and blessings be upon him) Yes.
