Surah Al Baqarah I Ayah 178-179 I سورۃ البقرة (Law of Qisas/ legal retribution for murder)

O believers! ˹The law of˺ retaliation is set for you in cases of murder—a free man for a free man, a slave for a slave, and a female for a female. But if the offender is pardoned by the victim’s guardian, then blood-money should be decided fairly and payment should be made courteously. This is a concession and a mercy from your Lord. But whoever transgresses after that will suffer a painful punishment. (Ayah 178) There is life for you in Qisas, O people of wisdom, so that you may be protected (Ayah 179)
