The answer

In addition to the blood money (diyyah), the killer is required to offer expiation (kaffarah) in the following order: freeing a believing slave. If he cannot find one, then fasting for two consecutive months. If he is unable to do that, then feeding sixty poor people. He should not move to the next option unless he is incapable of performing the preceding one.
