It is generally accepted that murder is wrong and not okay in any situation. However, under certain circumstances, it may be legal or permitted to take another person's life. Examples may include when self-defense is necessary to protect oneself from serious injury or death; when an individual has committed a felony and must be apprehended; or when capital punishment has been ordered by a court of law.

It's okay to murder someone in self-defence, or to prevent serious bodily harm or injury. You may also murder someone in wartime, under order of military command, or during certain religious rites and ceremonies. In some instances where murder is committed in a manner that doesn't fit the definition of premeditated, it may be considered voluntary manslaughter - however this typically only applies if there is evidence of diminished capacity due to intoxication or emotional distress at the time of the crime.
