«إِنْ قَتَلْتُكَ فِي يَوْمِ الْخَمِيسِ»
“If I kill you on Thursday.”
If a person is wounded on Thursday but dies on Friday, the stated condition of a killing on Thursday is not fulfilled in this example, because the completion of killing depends on the occurrence of death.
The distinction between striking and killing is important. An injury may occur at one time, whereas death follows later. The time of the cause need not be the same as the time of the completed legally relevant act.
