What is the ruling on killing a group for one person?

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Is the killing of a group for one person conditional on each of them intending to kill?

Answer:
If they participate in the killing such that it is attributed to each one that he participated in the killing, for example: this one cut off his hand, this one cut off his leg, and this one slaughtered him with a knife, meaning each one did something that could constitute killing, unlike the restraining mentioned earlier, where the one restraining is imprisoned until he dies.
