According to the viewpoints of the two major sects (ShÄ«âa and SunnÄ«) and the article 221 of the Islamic penal law, the verdict of retaliation (qiá¹£Äá¹£) in deliberate murder does not apply to a father who has murdered his child; however, according to the generally accepted view of the ImÄmiyya, the mother is not excluded from this verdict and is retaliated in qiá¹£Äá¹£ for murdering her child.
Setting forth and examining the legal evidences of both viewpoints, the writers of this article have to a great extent regarded the exclusion of the mother from this verdict as justified and defendable with respect to the evidences.
