The questioner : May Allah forgive you. Is it permissible for the awliya (close friends of Allah) of the murdered person to forgive the blood money while the murdered person has a debt?
The Shaykh : To forgive the blood money, that is what you mean? Yes, they do not have the right to forgive it. This is because the right of the awliya (close friends of Allah) of the murdered person is not established until after the debt is paid. This is based on the saying of Allah the Exalted in the verse of inheritance:[An-Nisa 4:11] Therefore, they have no right to waive the blood money, because the blood money is included in the estate.
