Q: One of my relatives killed one of his relatives in Jordan and received a sentence of 6 years, according to the Jordanian law, in Amman. Then, a general amnesty was passed on all prisoners but my relative was committed to 20,000 riyals as Diyah (blood money) according to a tribal conciliation in Jordan. However, he and his brothers owned nothing and all their relatives in this country deserted them. I was working at that time in the Saudi Arabian army in Turayf and they begged me to support them. So, I requested a leave and headed to Jordan. The Armed Forces commander in Jordan issued circulars to the Saudi forces so I collected the money and paid it. I exerted great effort to do. But I was in need of money at this time, so I kept 3,500 riyals from the collected money for myself. (Part No. 11; Page No. 219) I gave this money as a dowry for a bride in addition to some money I had. Now, my previously imprisoned relative lives in Al-Qurayyat. He is corporal sergeant, married and has children and a house. What can I do with this money to stop the pricking of the conscience and clear away my past misdeeds? Note that the money was a donation from numerous soldiers; some of them donated around 10 riyals, more or less and I do not know them? Please, give me Fatwa (legal opinion issued by qualified Muslim scholar), may Allah reward you with the best. Should I pay this money back to that man, because it was collected for him or give it in charity on behalf of those who donated it? May Allah prolong your life.
