What is the ruling regarding retribution upon the killer of a killer who committed intentional homicide, according to different Imams?
General Chapter
Al-Mughni
Book of Wounds
Primary text
Al-Shafi'i states that if the intentional killer of the first victim dies, Diyah is due from his estate. This is based on the principle that the destruction of the venue of the right necessitates compensation from the perpetrator's estate.

Abu Hanifa and Malik hold that the right of the injured party (the heir of the first victim) is nullified in this scenario. The rationale for both positions is derived from the principles established previously regarding the second killing.
