Jeddah: An exemplary act by a man of sacred land, father of slain Saudi young man named Abdullah, to forgive his son’s killer if he successfully manages to memorize the Holy Quran during his imprisonment, a local newspaper reported on Saturday.
According to report, Rabi’a al-Dousary, father of the slain man has promised to pardon the convicted murderer, Faisal al-Ameri, if he successfully memorized all of the Holy Quran before completing his prison period, al-Yawm Saudi newspaper reported.
Ameri was subjected to death for assassination of Dousary during a disagreement that erupted in their neighborhood.
The father of deceased refused to take the blood money from the killer on consistent requests by the Higher Committee of Correction in the Eastern Province of the Kingdom but agreed on one demand that he has to memorize the Quran if he wants to live.
