Buying and Selling: Ruling on Guardian Demanding Blood Money for an Adult Without Permission
English:
Question #1493:
An adult is injured. Has the man’s father or paternal grandfather the right to demand or take blood money for the victim without his permission, i.e. is the criminal obligated to pay blood money to the victim upon their demand?
Answer #1493:
They have no right of guardianship over a sane, adult person. Accordingly, it is not permissible for them to demand his right without his permission.
