Yahya related to me from Malik that he heard that Umar ibn Abd al-Aziz gave a decision that when a jew or christian was killed, his blood-money was half the blood-money of a free muslim. Malik said, "What is done in our community, is that a muslim is not killed for a kafir unless the muslim kills him by deceit. Then he is killed for it

وحدثني يحيى، عن مالك، انه بلغه ان عمر بن عبد العزيز، قضى ان دية اليهودي، او النصراني - اذا قتل احدهما - مثل نصف دية الحر المسلم . قال مالك الامر عندنا ان لا يقتل مسلم بكافر الا ان يقتله مسلم قتل غيلة فيقتل به
