Q: Mufti sahib, 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.
