"Detaining the killer until the minor heirs of the victim reach maturity is a matter of scholarly disagreement. If the adult heirs of the victim agree to execute the killer, they are permitted to do so according to most scholars, including Abu Hanifa, Malik, and Ahmad in one of the narrations, which was chosen by Sheikh al-Islam Ibn Taymiyyah. Therefore, the Supreme Court's ruling is correct, and there is no blame upon the victim's heirs, especially since the ruler's judgment resolves disagreements."
