وَلَا تَقۡتُلُواْ ٱلنَّفۡسَ ٱلَّتِي حَرَّمَ ٱللَّهُ إِلَّا بِٱلۡحَقِّۗ وَمَن قُتِلَ مَظۡلُومٗا فَقَدۡ جَعَلۡنَا لِوَلِيِّهِۦ سُلۡطَٰنٗا فَلَا يُسۡرِف فِّي ٱلۡقَتۡلِۖ إِنَّهُۥ كَانَ مَنصُورٗا ٣٣
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].

Commentary on 17:33
Yüce Allah'ın iman etme veya eman ile kanını haram kıldığı bir nefsi dinden dönme, ihsan (evli olmak ya da başından evlilik geçmiş olmak) olduktan sonra yahut da kısas gibi canını mübah kılan sebeplerden herhangi birisi olmadan öldürmeyin. Kim öldürülmesini mübah kılan bir sebep olmadan (haksız yere) mazlum olarak öldürülürse, varislerinden velayet hakkı olana katilin kısasla öldürülmesini talep etme, hiçbir karşılık talep etmeden affetme, diyet alıp affetme yetkisi verdik.(Öldürülenin velisinin) öldüren kimseyi kısasla öldürürken temsil yaparak (uzuvlarını kopararak), öldürdüğü şekilden başka bir şekilde öldürerek ya da katilden başkasını öldürerek Allah'ın kendisine mübah kıldığı haddi aşmaması gerekir. Çünkü maktulün velisine sadece meşru kılınan cezalar hususunda destek verilmiş ve yardım edilmiştir.

وَإِمَّا تُعۡرِضَنَّ عَنۡهُمُ ٱبۡتِغَآءَ رَحۡمَةٖ مِّن رَّبِّكَ تَرۡجُوهَا فَقُل لَّهُمۡ قَوۡلٗا مَّيۡسُورٗا ٢٨
And if you [must] turn away from them [i.e., the needy] awaiting mercy from your Lord which you expect,1 then speak to them a gentle word.
