If the blood redeemer is unwilling to execute the convicted murderer, who carries out the sentence?
Halacha 2 states explicitly that if the blood redeemer is unable or unwilling, the court executes the murderer by decapitation.
Question 2
Why may a pregnant woman's fetus be aborted when it endangers her life during difficult labor?
Halacha 9 explains that the Sages ruled the fetus is like a rodef pursuing her; once its head emerges, however, no life may be sacrificed for another.
Question 3
A pursuer can be stopped by wounding his limb. If this is possible but the rescuer kills the pursuer anyway, what is the consequence?
Halacha 13 rules that such a rescuer is considered a shedder of blood, liable for death, but beit din does not actually execute him.
Question 4
According to Halacha 4, what may never be accepted from a murderer even with the blood redeemer's consent?
Halacha 4 forbids the court from accepting any ransom (kofer) for a murderer's life — the soul of the victim belongs to God, not to the redeemer.
Question 5
Which of the following is NOT included in the prohibition of standing idly by a neighbor's blood?
Halacha 14 lists drowning, robber attacks, conspiracies, and threats as covered by 'lo ta'amod.' Returning lost objects is a separate mitzvah not listed there.
