[Machine] The Prophet Muhammad ﷺ said, "Whoever intentionally kills someone, the decision is left to the guardian of the deceased: if he wishes, he can choose to have the killer executed, or if he wishes, he can choose to accept blood money (compensation)."  

البيهقي:١٦٠٧٦وَأَخْبَرَنَا أَبُو الْحُسَيْنِ بْنُ الْفَضْلِ الْقَطَّانُ بِبَغْدَادَ أنبأ أَحْمَدُ بْنُ عُثْمَانَ بْنِ يَحْيَى الْآدَمِيُّ ثنا إِبْرَاهِيمُ بْنُ الْهَيْثَمِ ثنا الْهَيْثَمُ بْنُ جَمِيلٍ ثنا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ رَاشِدٍ عَنْ سُلَيْمَانَ بْنِ مُوسَى عَنْ عَمْرِو بْنِ شُعَيْبٍ عَنْ أَبِيهِ عَنْ جَدِّهِ

قَالَ النَّبِيُّ ﷺ مَنْ قَتَلَ عَمْدًا دُفِعَ إِلَى وَلِيِّ الْمَقْتُولِ فَإِنْ شَاءَ قَتَلَهُ وَإِنْ شَاءَ أَخَذَ الدِّيَةَ

abudawud:4506Muslim > Muḥammad b. Rāshid > Sulaymān b. Mūsá > ʿAmr b. Shuʿayb from his father from his grandfather

On his father's authority said that his grandfather reported the Prophet ﷺ said: A believer will not be killed for an infidel. If anyone kills a man deliberately, he is to be handed over to the relatives of the one who has been killed. If they wish, they may kill, but if they wish, they may accept blood-wit  

أبو داود:٤٥٠٦حَدَّثَنَا مُسْلِمٌ حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ رَاشِدٍ حَدَّثَنَا سُلَيْمَانُ بْنُ مُوسَى عَنْ عَمْرِو بْنِ شُعَيْبٍ عَنْ أَبِيهِ عَنْ جَدِّهِ

عَنِ النَّبِيِّ ﷺ قَالَ لاَ يُقْتَلُ مُؤْمِنٌ بِكَافِرٍ وَمَنْ قَتَلَ مُؤْمِنًا مُتَعَمِّدًا دُفِعَ إِلَى أَوْلِيَاءِ الْمَقْتُولِ فَإِنْ شَاءُوا قَتَلُوهُ وَإِنْ شَاءُوا أَخَذُوا الدِّيَةَ
