Saudi Preacher Released After Paying Blood Money

Re: Saudi Preacher Released After Paying Blood Money

So from this article, I found this :

**“The ruling is based on national laws that a father cannot be executed for murdering his children, nor can husbands be executed for murdering their wives, activists said.”
**
Someone please tell me, is KSA following the Sharia law? Or have they made these “national” laws to suit themselves? When it is convenient for them they use the “national” laws and when convenient follow the Sharia law? Because I do not think this is how the Sharia law works…

P.S. If the father is mentally disturbed, he should not be released as if it is all sorted out with money, he should be committed to a psychiatric facility to get treatment, because obviously something is wrong with him to want to check the virginity of a 5yr old girl.
