Hadith.5198 - Al-Hasan ibn Mahbub narrated from Khidr Al-Sayrafi from Burayd Al-Ijli, who said: Abu Jafar Imam Muhammad ibn Ali Al-Baqir {a.s} was asked about a man who intentionally killed another man, but the legal punishment (hadd) was not carried out on him, and the testimony against him was not confirmed until he lost his sanity and became mentally unstable. Later, another group of people testified after his insanity that he had committed the murder. Imam {a.s} said: "If they testified that he killed the man at the time of the murder while he was sound in mind and had no mental illness, then he should be executed. But if they did not testify to that, and he had known wealth, the blood money (diyyah) should be paid to the heirs of the murdered person from the killer's wealth. If he left no wealth, the blood money should be paid from the public treasury (Bayt Al-Mal) of the Muslims, for the blood of a Muslim must not be wasted."
