Surah An-Nisaa

And never is it for a believer to kill a believer except by mistake. And whoever kills a believer by mistake - then the freeing of a believing slave and a compensation payment presented to the deceased's family [is required] unless they give [up their right as] charity. But if the deceased was from a people at war with you and he was a believer - then [only] the freeing of a believing slave; and if he was from a people with whom you have a treaty - then a compensation payment presented to his family and the freeing of a believing slave. And whoever does not find [one or cannot afford to buy one] - then [instead], a fast for two months consecutively, [seeking] acceptance of repentance from Allah. And Allah is ever Knowing and Wise.﴿92

Translation

And never is it for a believer to kill a believer except by mistake. And whoever kills a believer by mistake - then the freeing of a believing slave and a compensation payment presented to the deceased's family [is required] unless they give [up their right as] charity. But if the deceased was from a people at war with you and he was a believer - then [only] the freeing of a believing slave; and if he was from a people with whom you have a treaty - then a compensation payment presented to his family and the freeing of a believing slave. And whoever does not find [one or cannot afford to buy one] - then [instead], a fast for two months consecutively, [seeking] acceptance of repentance from Allah. And Allah is ever Knowing and Wise.

Simplified Tafsir

ولا يحق لمؤمن الاعتداء على أخيه المؤمن وقتله بغير حق، إلا أن يقع منه ذلك على وجه الخطأ الذي لا عمد فيه، ومن وقع منه ذلك الخطأ فعليه عتق رقبة مؤمنة، وتسليم دية مقدرة إلى أوليائه، إلا أن يتصدقوا بها عليه ويعفوا عنه. فإن كان المقتول من قوم كفار أعداء للمؤمنين، وهو مؤمن بالله تعالى، وبما أنزل من الحق على رسوله محمد صلى الله عليه وسلم، فعلى قاتله عتق رقبة مؤمنة، وإن كان من قوم بينكم وبينهم عهد وميثاق، فعلى قاتله دية تسلم إلى أوليائه وعتق رقبة مؤمنة، فمن لم يجد القدرة على عتق رقبة مؤمنة، فعليه صيام شهرين متتابعين؛ ليتوب الله تعالى عليه. وكان الله تعالى عليما بحقيقة شأن عباده، حكيمًا فيما شرعه لهم.
