سَأَلْتُهُ عَمَّنْ قَتَلَ مُؤْمِناً مُتَعَمِّداً هَلْ لَهُ تَوْبَةٌ فَقَالَ لَا حَتَّى يُؤَدِّيَ

Hadith.5168 - Uthman ibn Isa and Zurah narrated from Samaah from Abu Abdullah (as), who said: I asked Imam (as) about a person who intentionally kills a believer - does he have repentance? Imam (as) said: "No, not until he pays the blood money (diyyah) to the victim's family, frees a slave, fasts for two consecutive months, seeks forgiveness from Allah (swt) the Almighty and Majestic, repents to Him (swt), and humbly supplicates. I hope that if he does all of this, his repentance will be accepted." I asked: "May I be your ransom, what if he has no wealth to pay the blood money?" Imam (as) said: "Then he should ask the Muslims for help until he is able to pay the blood money to the victim's family."
