A Murderer Does Not Die a Muslim
The following tradition is indicative of the fact that murder is a Greater Sin:
Regarding the killing of a believer, Imam Ja’far as-Sadiq (a.s.) says:
At the time of his death the killer is told. ‘Die as you wish, die as a Jew or a Christian or as a Magian.’
(al-KÄfi)
Another tradition:
“A believer is free in the vast expanse of his belief till he colours his hands with the blood of a Mu’min.”
Imam (a.s.) further says:
“One who kills a believer intentionally is deprived of the ‘TawfÄ«q’ of repenting (for his sins).”
(Wasa’il ul-Shia)
