Zād al-MustaqniʿAl-Hajjawi

Section: Conditions for Retaliatory Execution (qiṣāṣ)

They are four: 1) the victim’s legal inviolability (ʿiṣmah). Thus, were a Muslim or a protected non-Muslim to kill a combatant unbeliever or an apostate, neither qiṣāṣ nor diyah is incurred.

  1. Legal accountability (taklīf); therefore no retaliatory execution is taken from a minor or an insane person.2

  2. Equivalence (mukāfaʾah): the assailant must match the victim in religion, freedom, and slave status. Hence a Muslim is not executed for killing a non-Muslim, nor a free man for killing a slave, while the reverse does apply, and a male is put to death for killing a female,

(1) Manuscript M inserts: “one of them.” (2) Manuscript M reads: “nor an insane person.”
باب شروط القصاص وهي أربعة١: عصمة المقتول فلو قتل مسلم أو ذمي حربيا أو مرتدا لم يضمنه بقصاص "ولا دية". الثاني: التكليف فلا قصاص على صغير ومجنون٢. الثالث: المكأفاة بأن يساويه في الدين والحرية والرق فلا يقتل مسلم بكافر ولا حر بعبد وعكسه يقتل ويقتل الذكر بالأنثى,
١ في "م" زيادة: أحدها. ٢ في "م": ولا مجنون.
