Chapter on a Man Who Kills His Son, His Father, or His Mother

faqih-5237Vol. 4, p. 120

لَا يُقْتَلُ الْأَبُ بِابْنِهِ إِذَا قَتَلَهُ وَ يُقْتَلُ الِابْنُ بِأَبِيهِ إِذَا قَتَلَ أَبَاهُ وَ قَالَ لَا يَتَوَارَثُ رَجُلَانِ قَتَلَ أَحَدُهُمَا صَاحِبَهُ‌[2].

"A father is not executed for killing his son, but a son is executed for killing his father." Imam (as) also said: "Two men who kill one another do not inherit from each other."

faqih-5238Vol. 4, p. 120

فِي رَجُلٍ قَتَلَ أُمَّهُ قَالَ إِذَا كَانَ خَطَأً فَإِنَّ لَهُ نَصِيباً مِنْ مِيرَاثِهَا وَ إِنْ كَانَ قَتَلَهَا مُتَعَمِّداً فَلَا يَرِثُ مِنْهَا شَيْئاً.

Hadith.5245 - Muhammad ibn Qays narrated from Abu Jafar Imam Muhammad ibn Ali Al-Baqir (as) that he said regarding a man who killed his mother: "If he killed her accidentally, he is entitled to a share of her inheritance. However, if he killed her intentionally, he does not inherit anything from her."

faqih-5239Vol. 4, p. 120

لَا يُقْتَلُ بِهِ وَ لَكِنْ يُضْرَبُ ضَرْباً شَدِيداً وَ يُنْفَى مِنْ مَسْقَطِ رَأْسِهِ.

Hadith.5246 - Amr ibn Shimr narrated from Jabir from Abu Jafar Imam Muhammad ibn Ali Al-Baqir (as) regarding a man who kills his son or his slave. Imam (as) said: "He is not to be killed for that, but he should be severely beaten and exiled from his hometown."

faqih-5240Vol. 4, p. 120

سَأَلْتُ أَبَا جَعْفَرٍ ع عَنْ رَجُلٍ قَتَلَ أُمَّهُ قَالَ لَا يَرِثُهَا وَ يُقْتَلُ بِهَا وَ هُوَ صَاغِرٌ وَ لَا أَظُنُّ قَتْلَهُ بِهَا كَفَّارَةً لِذَنْبِهِ‌[3].

I asked Abu Jafar Imam Muhammad ibn Ali Al-Baqir (as) about a man who killed his mother. Imam (as) said: "He does not inherit from her, and he should be killed for it in a state of humiliation. Yet, I do not think that his killing would be an expiation for his sin."

faqih-5241Vol. 4, p. 121

لَا يُقَادُ مُسْلِمٌ بِذِمِّيٍّ فِي الْقَتْلِ وَ لَا فِي الْجِرَاحَاتِ وَ لَكِنْ يُؤْخَذُ مِنَ الْمُسْلِمِ فِي جِنَايَتِهِ لِلذِّمِّيِّ بِقَدْرِ جِنَايَتِهِ عَلَى الذِّمِّيِّ عَلَى قَدْرِ دِيَةِ الذِّمِّيِّ ثَمَانِمِائَةِ دِرْهَمٍ‌[1].
