we have mentioned that killing is not recommended for any of the children of adam except in the four sins that were mentioned above as for unbelief if its perpetrator returns to islam or to the covenant if he was not an apostate it is accepted from him and death is known about him. as for murder if the guardian accepts the blood money according to the opinion of some jurists or forgives according to the opinion of all of them the murderer is no longer required to kill in retaliation. as for corruption on earth if its perpetrator repents before he is able to do so the killing is waived. there is no way according to the opinion of anyone who agrees or disagrees to leave the stoning of the married person and there is no reason to lift the death from him at all.
وقد ذكرنا أنه لا يحب القتل على أحد من ولد آدم إلا في الذنوب الأربعة التي تقدم ذكرها فأما الكفر منها فإن عاد صاحبه إلى الاسلام أو بالذمة إن لم يكن مرتدا قبل منه ودرى عنه الموت، وأما القتل فان قبل الولي الدية في قول بعض الفقهاء أو عفا في قول جميعهم سقط عن القاتل القتل بالقصاص، وأما الفساد في الأرض فإن ناب صاحبه قبل أن يقدر عليه هدر عنه القتل، ولا سبيل في قول أحد مؤالف أو مخالف في ترك رجم المحصن ولا وجه لرفع الموت عنه البتة.
