4/92.
It is not for a believer to kill a believer unless (it be) by mistake.
He who hath killed a believer by mistake must set free a believing slave,
and pay the blood money to the family of the slain, unless they remit
it as a charity. If he (the victim) be of a people hostile unto you, and
he is a believer, then (the penance is) to set free a believing slave.
And if he cometh of a folk between whom and you there is a covenant, then
the blood money must be paid unto his folk and (also) a believing slave
must be set free. And whoso hath not the wherewithal must fast two consecutive
months. A penance from Allah. Allah is Knower, Wise.
