An-Nisa 4:92 وما كان لمومن ان يقتل مومنا الا خطا ومن قتل مومنا خطا فتحرير رقبة مومنة ودية مسلمة الى اهله الا ان يصدقوا فان كان من قوم عدو لكم وهو مومن فتحرير رقبة مومنة وان كان من قوم بينكم وبينهم ميثاق فدية مسلمة الى اهله وتحرير رقبة مومنة فمن لم يجد فصيام شهرين متتابعين توبة من الله وكان الله عليما حكيما ٩٢

It is not for a believer to kill a believer except (that it be) by mistake; and whosoever kills a believer by mistake, (it is ordained that) he must set free a believing slave and a compensation (blood-money, i.e. Diya) be given to the deceased’s family unless they remit it. If the deceased belonged to a people at war with you and he was a believer, the freeing of a believing slave (is prescribed); and if he belonged to a people with whom you have a treaty of mutual alliance, compensation (blood-money - Diya) must be paid to his family, and a believing slave must be freed. And whoso finds this (the penance of freeing a slave) beyond his means, he must fast for two consecutive months in order to seek repentance from Allâh. And Allâh is Ever All-Knowing, All-Wise.

The Ruling Concerning Killing a Believer by Mistake
Allah states that the believer is not allowed to kill his believing brother under any circumstances. In the Two Sahihs, it is recorded that Ibn Mas`ud said that the Messenger of Allah ﷺ said,
«لَا يَحِلُّ دَمُ امْرِىءٍ مُسْلِمٍ يَشْهَدُ أَنْ لَا إِله
