If a Muslim kills a kafir in an Islamic state, what is the punshment?

Answered as per Hanafi Fiqh by Askimam.org
Answer

The life of a non-Muslim living in an Islamic state is the same as a Muslim’
s life. His life is sacred and will be protected by the Islamic state. If a
Muslim murders him for no justifiable Shar’ee reason, the law of Qisaas
(killing by sword) will be applied on the Muslim.

and Allah Ta’ala Knows Best
