[Machine] He said about a man who was able to kill his brother's murderer but felt hesitant between him and Allah, fearing that he might miss the opportunity to bring him to justice before reaching the Imam. Ibn Shihab said that it is established in the Sunnah that no soul should be forcibly taken without the permission of the Imam. We have also narrated in the Hadith of Umar ibn Al-Khattab regarding the incident where someone was compelled, where he wrote to the authorities that no one should be killed except with his permission.
