Question: 12049
Answer
Praise be to Allah, and peace and blessings be upon the Messenger of Allah and his family.
We put this question to Shaykh Muhammad ibn Saalih al-‘Uthaymeen, may Allaah preserve him, who answered as follows:
The kin of the victim have the right to diyah (blood money) from the wealth of the killer if he left any wealth. If he did not leave any wealth then they have no rights over the clan of the killer.
