    Surah Name : An-Nisa   Surah Number : 4   Ayat Number: 18

    وَمَا كَانَ لِمُؤۡمِنٍ أَن يَقۡتُلَ مُؤۡمِنًا إِلَّا خَطَـٔٗاۚ وَمَن قَتَلَ مُؤۡمِنًا خَطَـٔٗا فَتَحۡرِيرُ رَقَبَةٖ مُّؤۡمِنَةٖ وَدِيَةٞ مُّسَلَّمَةٌ إِلَىٰٓ أَهۡلِهِۦٓ إِلَّآ أَن يَصَّدَّقُواْۚ فَإِن كَانَ مِن قَوۡمٍ عَدُوّٖ لَّكُمۡ وَهُوَ مُؤۡمِنٞ فَتَحۡرِيرُ رَقَبَةٖ مُّؤۡمِنَةٖۖ وَإِن كَانَ مِن قَوۡمِۭ بَيۡنَكُمۡ وَبَيۡنَهُم مِّيثَٰقٞ فَدِيَةٞ مُّسَلَّمَةٌ إِلَىٰٓ أَهۡلِهِۦ وَتَحۡرِيرُ رَقَبَةٖ مُّؤۡمِنَةٖۖ فَمَن لَّمۡ يَجِدۡ فَصِيَامُ شَهۡرَيۡنِ مُتَتَابِعَيۡنِ تَوۡبَةٗ مِّنَ ٱللَّهِۗ وَكَانَ ٱللَّهُ عَلِيمًا حَكِيمٗا

    92. And it is not befitting for a believer (Muslim) to kill a believer except by mistake [292]. If anyone kills a believer unintentionally, then he must free a Muslim slave and pay blood money (restitution) to the family of the deceased, unless they forgo [293] their right. But if the deceased was from a people who are hostile to you, and he himself [294] was a believer, then the obligation is only to free a Muslim slave. And if he was from a people with whom you have a pact [295], then blood compensation should be paid to his family along with freeing a believing slave [296]. However, if someone cannot find the means to do this, they should fast for two consecutive months. This is repentance accepted by Allah [297]. And Allah is Ever-Knowing, All-Wise.

Allah knows that you used to deceive [420] yourselves. He has accepted your repentance and pardoned you [421]. So now, be intimate with them and seek what Allah has decreed [422] for you. And eat and drink [423] until the white thread becomes distinct to you from the black thread of dawn. Then complete [424] the fast until nightfall. But do not be intimate with your wives [425] while you are in secluded devotion (I'tikaaf) in the mosques. These are the limits of Allah, so do not approach them. Thus does Allah clarify His verses for the people so that they may become pious.
