Diyat in the case of homicide
Q: You had previously issued a ruling stating that 'diyat' is not applicable in the case of homicide in a non-Muslim country based on the reasoning that the decision of a qādhi is necessary for it to be implemented. I have come across the following text in 'Badaai'-us-Sanaai' under the chapter:
فصل في الأحكام التي تختلف باختلاف الدارين, ويضمن الدية خطأ كان أو عمدا وتكون في ماله لا علي العاقلة ...
This ibaarat suggest that diyat is compulsory even in darul-kufr. I would appreciate Hazrat Mufti sahib's guidance in this matter.
