وَالْمَقْتُولُ مَيِّتٌ بِأَجَلِهِ
A person who is killed dies at their appointed term.
The discussion of generation leads to a new question: does the killer create death, or is killing the killer’s voluntary act while death itself occurs by divine creation? In the Sunni framework presented, death is attributed to Allah in creation and the wrongful act of killing to the perpetrator.
Ajal is an appointed term or time. Saying that the victim died at the appointed time does not excuse the killer. The theological origin of death and the moral-legal assessment of killing are distinct matters.
