Is God’s provision of salvation from the penalty of sin always dependent upon the ransom of a blood sacrifice? (Kefaret)

Bible: Yes       Qur'an: No

Leviticus 17:11 – For the life of the flesh is in the blood; and I have given it to you upon the altar to make an atonement for your souls; for it is the blood that maketh atonement for the soul.

Hebrews 9:12 & 22 – 12. By his own blood he... obtained eternal redemption for us… 22. And almost all things are by the law purged with blood, and without shedding of blood is no remission.


Al-Baqarah 2:48 – And guard yourselves against a day when no soul shall aid another, and no intercession or ransom, or any compensation shall be accepted from it.

Al-Haj 22:37 – (Note it well that) neither their flesh nor their blood shall reach Allah. But it is your piety (and veneration) that reaches Him.
