17:33

وَلَا تَقْتُلُوا النَّفْسَ الَّتٖی حَرَّمَ اللّٰهُ اِلَّا بِالْحَقِّؕ وَمَنْ قُتِلَ مَظْلُومًا فَقَدْ جَعَلْنَا لِوَلِیِّهٖ سُلْطَانًا فَلَا یُسْرِفْ فِی الْقَتْلِؕ اِنَّهُ كَانَ مَنْصُورًا

Wala taqtuloo alnnafsa allatee harrama Allahu illa bialhaqqi waman qutila mathlooman faqad jaAAalna liwaliyyihi sultanan fala yusrif fee alqatli innahu kana mansooran

Translations

And do not kill the soul which Allah has forbidden, except by right. And whoever is killed unjustly - We have given his heir authority, but let him not exceed limits in [the matter of] taking life. Indeed, he has been supported [by the law]

Saheeh International

And slay not the life which Allah hath forbidden save with right. Whoso is slain wrongfully, We have given power unto his heir, but let him not commit excess in slaying. Lo! he will be helped
