Question 1880) - If one of the partners foregoes the retaliation; or compromises on his share for a consideration, what do the rest do?

A: Retaliation is foregone in both cases. The remaining parties are still entitled to their shares of the Diyah. The murderer should not give them difficulty but should pay them in a good way, just as the family of the victim should not harm him. Allaah says, "He who is pardoned for killing his brother then he must be pursued in a good manner and payment made with kindness." [al-Baqarah:178]
