The answer

What is mentioned in the question are among the gravest major sins, and whoever commits them must repent according to its conditions. As for one who has committed fornication or drunk alcohol and whose affair has not been exposed, he should conceal himself with Allah's concealment. However, intentional killing is not sufficiently atoned for by repentance alone; rather, one must surrender oneself to the guardians of the slain for retribution (qisas) or forgiveness. If it was accidental, then by paying the blood money (diyah).
