Hadith 30613

Yahya related to me from Malik that he saw whomever he wassatisfied with among the people of knowledge say about a man whowilled that his murderer be pardoned when he murdered himintentionally, "That is permitted for him. He is more entitled to theman's blood than any of his relatives after him."Malik saidabout a man who pardoned murder, after he had claimed his right and itwas obliged for him, "There is no blood-money against the murdererunless the one who pardons him stipulates that when he pardons him."Malik said about the murderer when he was pardoned, "He isflogged one hundred lashes and jailed for a year."Maliksaid, "When a man murders intentionally and there is a clear proof ofthat, and the murdered man has sons and daughters and the sons pardonand the daughters refuse to pardon, the pardon of the sons ispermitted in opposition to the daughters and there is no authority forthe daughters with the sons in demanding blood and pardoning."
