اُردوEn
وَأَخْبَرَنَا أَبُو عَبْدِ اللهِ، ثنا أَبُو الْعَبَّاسِ، ثنا يَحْيَى، ثنا يَزِيدُ، أنا حَبِيبُ بْنُ أَبِي حَبِيبٍ، عَنْ عَمْرِو بْنِ هَرِمٍ، عَنْ جَابِرِ بْنِ زَيْدٍ قَالَ: " أَيُّمَا رَجُلٍ قَتَلَ رَجُلًا أَوِ امْرَأَةً عَمْدًا أَوْ خَطَأً مِمَّنْ يَرِثُ، فَلَا مِيرَاثَ لَهُ مِنْهُمَا، وَأَيُّمَا امْرَأَةٍ قَتَلَتْ رَجُلًا أَوِ امْرَأَةً عَمْدًا أَوْ خَطَأً فَلَا مِيرَاثَ لَهَا مِنْهُمَا، وَإِنْ كَانَ الْقَتْلُ عَمْدًا فَالْقَوَدُ إِلَّا أَنْ يَعْفُوا أَوْلِيَاءُ الْمَقْتُولِ، فَإِنْ عَفَوْا فَلَا مِيرَاثَ لَهُ مِنْ عَقْلِهِ، وَلَا مِنْ مَالِهِ، قَضَى بِذَلِكَ عُمَرُ بْنُ الْخَطَّابِ وَعَلِيٌّ رَضِيَ اللهُ عَنْهُمَا وَشُرَيْحٌ وَغَيْرُهُمْ مِنْ قُضَاةِ الْمُسْلِمِينَ ".
Jabir bin Zayd (may Allah have mercy on him) said: Any man who kills a man or a woman, deliberately or by mistake, has nothing from their inheritance; and any woman who kills a man or a woman, deliberately or by mistake, has nothing from their inheritance. If the killing was deliberate, then there is retaliation, unless the heirs of the slain forgive. If they forgive, then he has no inheritance from his blood money or from his wealth. This is how Umar bin al-Khattab and Ali (may Allah be pleased with them both), Shurayh (may Allah have mercy on him) and other judges of the Muslims ruled.
