And whoever kills a believer by mistake &#8211; then the freeing of a believing slave and a compensation payment presented to the deceased&#8217;s family [is required] unless they give [up their right as] charity. But if the deceased was from a people at war with you and he was a believer &#8211; then [only] the freeing of a believing slave; and if he was from a people with whom you have a treaty &#8211; then a compensation payment presented to his family and the freeing of a believing slave. And whoever does not find [one or cannot afford to buy one] &#8211; then [instead], a fast for two months consecutively, [seeking] acceptance of repentance from Allah . And Allah is ever Knowing and Wise.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p style=\"padding-left: 30px;\"><strong>But whoever kills a believer intentionally &#8211; his recompense is Hell, wherein he will abide eternally, and Allah has become angry with him and has cursed him and has prepared for him a great punishment.<\/strong> (An-Nisaa&#8217; 4:92-93)<\/p>\n<p>We also read what means:<\/p>\n<p style=\"padding-left: 30px;\"><strong>O you who have believed, prescribed for you is legal retribution for those murdered &#8211; the free for the free, the slave for the slave, and the female for the female. But whoever overlooks from his brother anything, then there should be a suitable follow-up and payment to him with good conduct. This is an alleviation from your Lord and a mercy.
