Well heres a high profile case but it appears the muslim didnt get his money.
ADELAIDE, Australia (CNN) -- Australian Frank Gilford had the right to request the rest penalty in the case of two nurses convicted in Saudi Arabia of killing his sister. On Wednesday, Gilford said he would waive that right in exchange for $1.7 Australian dollars ($1.24 million U.S.), with most of the money going to charity.
Saudi lawyers say convicts usually spend no more than five years in prison once the victim's family commutes the rest sentence.
Under Saudi Arabia's strict Islamic law, a guilty verdict carries a rest sentence, generally by public beheading. But the family of the victim can have the sentence commuted to a prison term by seeking clemency, generally in exchange for financial compensation.

Intentional liquidate The Qur'an legislates the rest penalty for liquidate, although forgiveness and compbuttion are strongly encouraged. The liquidate victim's family is given a choice to either insist on the rest penalty, or to pardon the perpetrator and accept monetary compensation for their loss (2:178).
Fasaad fi al-ardh The second crime for which capital punishment can be applied is a bit more open to interpretation. "Spreading mischief in the land" can mean many different things, but is generally interpreted to mean those crimes that affect the community as a whole, and destabilize the society. Crimes that have fallen under this description have included:
Treason Apostacy (when one leaves the faith and joins the enemy in fighting against the Muslim community) Terrorism Land, sea, or air piracy Rape Adultery Homoloveual behavior
