Surah Al Baqara Ayat 178
O you who believe! Retaliation for the murdered is ordained upon you: the free for the free, the slave for the slave, the female for the female. But if he is forgiven by his kin, then grant any reasonable demand, and pay with good will. This is a concession from your Lord, and a mercy. But whoever commits aggression after that, a painful torment awaits him.
Surah Al Baqara Ayat 179
There is life for you in retaliation, O people of understanding, so that you may refrain.

But whoever changes it after he has heard it, the guilt is upon those who change it. God is All-Hearing, All-Knowing.
Surah Al Baqara Ayat 182
Should someone suspect bias or injustice on the part of a testator, and then reconciles between them, he commits no sin. God is Forgiving and Merciful.
