Verses with دية

Verses 1–1 of 1

  1. Each word opens its meaning.

    Never should a Believer Kill a Believer; but (If it so happens) by mistake, (Compensation is due): If one (so) kills a Believer, It is ordained that he Should free a believing slave, And pay compensation To the deceased's family, Unless they remit it freely. If the deceased belonged To a people at war with you, And he was a Believer, The freeing of a believing slave (Is enough). If he belonged To a people with whom Ye have a treaty of mutual Alliance, compensation should Be paid to his family, And a believing slave be freed. For those who find this Beyond their means, (is prescribed) A fast for two months Running: by way of repentance To God: for God hath All knowledge and all wisdom.

    Surah An-Nisa, verse 4:92
