وُجُودُ الْعِقَابِ وَالضَّمَانِ عَلَى الْقَاتِلِ تَعَبُّدِيٌّ
Liability and punishment for the killer follow the religious ruling on the voluntary act.

Retaliation, punishment, or liability follows from committing a prohibited deed, not from creating death independently of Allah. The detailed legal rulings also depend on intention, evidence, conditions, and circumstances.

Invalid inference: Allah creates death; therefore the killer bears no responsibility. Correct distinction: The origination of death concerns divine creation; the prohibition and consequences of killing concern the accountable person’s action.
