Qisas Only Applicable If Victim Is “معصوم الدم”؟?
I understand this completely. But my question was of a different nature. Let me rephrase with more details. Person X was a proven murderer and hence liable to be killed by the capital punishment in Islamic Law. Now ofcourse, the punishment is to be carried out by the rulers of the State. However, Person Y kills the murderer. Would Person Y be awarded the Qisas punishment for this act? The answer of traditional jurists is “no”. They say a if a person who was already liable to be killed is murdered, the murderer is not to be given the death punishment. What is Ghamidi sahab’s opinion on this?
