And do not kill anyone which Allah has forbidden, except for a just cause. And whoever is killed (intentionally with hostility and oppression and not by mistake), We have given his heir the authority [(to demand Qisas, Law of Equality in punishment or to forgive, or to take Diya (blood money)]. But let him not exceed limits in the matter of taking life (i.e. he should not kill except the killer only). Verily, he is helped (by the Islamic law).
Wala msiuwe nafsi ambayo Mwenyezi Mungu amekataza isipo kuwa kwa haki. Na aliye uliwa kwa kudhulumiwa basi tumempa madaraka mrithi wake. Lakini asipite mpaka katika kuuwa. Kwani yeye anasaidiwa.
