It is not rightful for a Muslim to kill another Muslim , unless it occurs by mistake ; and the one who mistakenly kills a Muslim must set free a Muslim slave and pay blood-money to the family of the slain , except if they forego it ; and if the victim is of a people who are hostile to you , and the killer is a Muslim , then only the setting free of a Muslim slave ( is obligatory ) ; and if the victim is from a people between whom and you there is a treaty , then blood-money must be paid to his family and the setting free of a Muslim slave ; therefore one who has no means must fast for two consecutive months ; this is his penance before Allah ; and Allah is All Knowing , Wise .
