Al-Isra 17:33

Juz 15 · Hizb 29 · Page 285 · Meccan

وَلَا تَقْتُلُوا۟ ٱلنَّفْسَ ٱلَّتِى حَرَّمَ ٱللَّهُ إِلَّا بِٱلْحَقِّ ۗ وَمَن قُتِلَ مَظْلُومًا فَقَدْ جَعَلْنَا لِوَلِيِّهِۦ سُلْطَـٰنًا فَلَا يُسْرِف فِّى ٱلْقَتْلِ ۖ إِنَّهُۥ كَانَ مَنصُورًا

And do not kill the soul [i.e., person] which Allāh has forbidden, except by right. 1 And whoever is killed unjustly - We have given his heir authority, 2 but let him not exceed limits in [the matter of] taking life. Indeed, he has been supported [by the law].
