Wa-kaa-nul-laa-ho-alee-mun-ha-kee-maa

And it has never been right for a believer that                                                                He kills another believer except in error

And whoever killed a believer in error                                                                        Then the penalty is the freedom of a neck of a believer                                                And a compensation payable to his family                                                                Unless they forgive in charity

Then if he was from a nation of enemy to you                                                                And he was a believer                                                                                                            Then the penalty is the freedom of a neck

And if he was from a nation                                                                                                  Between you and between them there is a Pledge (=peace treaty)                          Then the penalty is a compensation payable to his family                                      And the freedom of a neck of a believer

So whoever can’t find that must do the fasting                                                                For two months consecutively                                                                                              As a repentance from Allah 

And Allah has always been All-Knowing, very Wise
