Chapter on Blood Money for the Limbs and Joints, and Blood Money for the Nutfah (sperm), Alaqah (clinging clot), Mudghah (embryonic lump), Bones, and the Soul

I presented this narration to Abu Abdullah (as), and Imam(as) said: "Yes, it is true. Indeed, the Commander of the Faithful (as) used to instruct his officials with this." He said: "Imam (as) gave a ruling that for every bone that contains marrow, there is a specified obligatory compensation if it is broken and healed without any defect or flaw. Imam (as) divided the obligatory blood money (diyyah) into six parts and established for wounds, the fetus, the eyelashes, paralysis, limbs, and the thumb, assigning six categories for each. Fetus He set the blood money for a fetus at one hundred dinars. For the sperm of a man until it becomes a fetus, he set five parts, and when it becomes a fetus before the soul enters it, he set it at one hundred dinars. He allocated twenty dinars for the sperm drop (nutfah), which refers to a man discharging with his wife who does not desire it. Thus, the Commander of the Faithful (as) set this ruling for it." He (as) set the compensation for the nutfah (sperm drop) at twenty dinars, which is equivalent to one-fifth (khumus), and for the clot of blood (alaqah), he set it at two-fifths of that, forty dinars. This ruling also applies if a woman is struck or harmed and subsequently miscarries. - For the muḍghah (chewed-like lump of flesh), he established sixty dinars if she also miscarried under similar circumstances. - For the bone stage (idham), he set eighty dinars if the woman miscarried. - For the fully formed fetus (janin), he set one hundred dinars if an enemy attacked them, causing the women to miscarry. He obligated this compensation upon the women from the responsible family (aqilah) accordingly. If a child is born alive and cries (istihlal, the first cry), and they were attacked during the night, leading to the killing of the children, the compensation for each male child is one thousand dinars, and for each female child, it is calculated accordingly at five hundred dinars. As for a woman who is killed while pregnant with a fully formed fetus, and the fetus does not miscarry, and it is unknown whether the fetus is male or female, and whether it died before or after the mother, then the compensation for the fetus is half of the male blood money and half of the female blood money, while the woman's full blood money remains obligatory. He (as) also ruled regarding a man who discharges outside his wife during intercourse without her consent. In this case, he imposed half of one-fifth of the fetus's blood money, amounting to ten dinars. If he discharges inside her without her consent, the compensation is twenty dinars. He established retaliation (qisas) for injuries and the related compensation according to the extent of the blood money, which is one hundred dinars. He ruled on the blood money for fetal injuries proportionally from the scale of one hundred dinars, corresponding to what applies to the injuries of a man or a woman in full. Sensory Organs and Paralysis He (as) also gave rulings concerning the body. He (as) established six obligatory compensations: life (nafs), vision (baṣar), hearing (samʿ), speech (kalam), impairment of voice due to nasal sound (ghanan) or hoarseness (bahah), and paralysis of the hands and legs. He aligned these rulings with the same principles as the previous laws. Additionally, he prescribed the practice of qasamah (oath-taking) for each of these matters, proportional to the amount of blood money owed. For intentional murder, qasamah involves fifty men, and for accidental killing, twenty-five men, corresponding to the blood money of one thousand dinars for life. For wounds requiring qasamah, six people are involved, and anything less follows this calculation. The qasamah applies to life, hearing, vision, intellect, voice due to hoarseness or harshness, and the loss of hands and legs. These are the six major parts of a person. Diyyah - Blood Money The blood money for; - a life is one thousand dinars, - for the Nose (if completely severed) one thousand dinars, - for the complete Total loss of voice (ghanan or bahah) one thousand dinars, - for paralysis of both hands one thousand dinars, - for the total loss of hearing one thousand dinars, - for the complete loss of vision one thousand dinars, - for loss of both legs together one thousand dinars, - for the Total removal of both lips one thousand dinars, - for a severe bent hunchback of the back thousand dinars, - for the Complete severance of the male genital organ one thousand dinars, - for the complete removal of the tongue one thousand dinars, - for Loss of both testicles one thousand dinars. Injuries; amputation, fractures, cracks, depressions, open wounds (muḍihah), bleeding wounds (damiyah), dislocation of bones, and deep wounds (naqibah) He (as) also established the compensation for injuries to all body parts - whether on the head, face, or the rest of the body - including the senses of hearing, vision, and voice. He (as) also established rulings for the intellect (Aql), the hands, and the legs concerning cases of amputation, fractures, cracks, depressions, open wounds (muḍihah), bleeding wounds (damiyah), dislocation of bones, and deep wounds (naqibah). If a bone is broken and heals without any deformity or defect and without any bone being displaced, its compensation is clearly defined. In the case of an open wound (muḍihah) where the bone is exposed but not displaced, both the compensation for the fracture and the open wound are due. For every bone that is broken, there is a set compensation, and for the dislocation of bones, half of the compensation for a fracture is due. The compensation for a visible wound (mudihah) is one-fourth of the compensation for a fracture, particularly for those body parts covered by clothing, except for the two forearm bones (qaṣabatay Al-saʿid) and the fingers. For an ulcer (qarhah) that does not heal, the compensation is one-third of the blood money of the bone where the ulcer is located. Vision If a man suffers an injury to one of his eyes, its compensation is measured by placing an eggshell over the injured eye and determining the range of vision of the healthy eye. Then, the healthy eye is covered, and the range of vision of the injured eye is assessed. Compensation is calculated based on this comparison. The practice of qasamah (oath-taking) applies in these six categories, involving six individuals according to the degree of injury to the eye. - If one-sixth of the vision is lost, the individual alone swears an oath and receives the compensation. - If one-third of the vision is lost, he and another man swear and receive the compensation. - If half of the vision is lost, he and two other men swear. - If two-thirds of the vision is lost, he and three other men swear. - If four-fifths of his vision was lost, he would swear an oath along with four other men. - If all of his vision was lost, he would swear an oath along with five other men. This was the ruling of qasamah (oath-taking) in the matter of the eye. He (as) also ruled that if someone had no one to swear an oath with him and he was not trusted regarding the extent of his vision loss, the number of oaths he would take would be increased. - If one-sixth of his vision was lost, he would swear once; - if one-third, he would swear twice; - if half, he would swear three times; - if two-thirds, he would swear four times; - if five-sixths, he would swear five times; - and if all of his vision was lost, he would swear six times, after which he would be granted compensation. However, if he refused to swear, he would only be granted compensation corresponding to what he had sworn for and was trusted upon. The governor (wali) would assist in this matter by investigating, questioning, and verifying in cases of retaliation (qisas), legal punishments (hudud), and equivalent retribution (qawad). Hearing If a person suffered any harm to his hearing, a similar method would be applied. An object would be used to measure the extent of his hearing loss, and compensation would be determined accordingly. If all of his hearing was lost, it would be handled in the same manner. If there was suspicion of dishonesty, the individual would be left alone until he was caught off-guard, then someone would call out to him. If he responded, his opponents would bring the case back to the judge. The judge would act based on his judgment and could reduce part of the compensation taken. Thigh or Upper Arm If the damage was in the thigh (fakhidh) or upper arm (Aḍud), it would be measured with a thread by comparing the healthy leg or arm to the injured one to determine the extent of the loss. If the injury was to the shin (saq) or forearm (saʿid), the comparison would be made using the thigh or upper arm. The judge would assess the extent of the injury to the thigh. Temple He (as) ruled that if a man sustained an Injury to the Temple (Ṣudgh), causing him to be unable to turn his head except by shifting his entire body, half of the full blood money (diyyah) was due, which is five hundred dinars. If the injury was less severe, the compensation would be calculated accordingly. Upper Eyelid He (as) ruled that if the Upper Eyelid (Shufr Al-Ayn Al-Ala) was injured and split, its compensation was one-third of the blood money for the eye, amounting to one hundred sixty-six and two-thirds dinars. Lower Eyelid If the Lower Eyelid (Shufr Al-Ayn Al-Asfal) was injured, its compensation was half of the blood money for the eye, which is two hundred fifty dinars. Eyebrow If the eyebrow (Al-hajib) was injured and all its hair was lost, the compensation was half of the blood money for the eye, amounting to two hundred fifty dinars. For any partial damage, the compensation would be calculated proportionally. Nasal Cartilage If the Nasal Cartilage (Rawthah Al-Anf) of the nose was cut off, the compensation was five hundred dinars, which is half of the full blood money. The compiler of this book (may Allah (swt) have mercy on him) explained that the rawthah is the soft, flexible part of the nose. Nose If there was a penetrating wound in the Nose (Nafidhah) that could not heal, caused by an arrow or spear, the compensation was three hundred thirty-three and one-third dinars. However, if the wound healed completely, the compensation was one-fifth of the blood money for the rawthah of the nose, which is one hundred dinars, with proportional compensation for lesser injuries. If the penetrating wound affected one nostril and extended to the nasal septum (khayshoom), the divider between the nostrils, the compensation was one-tenth of the blood money for the rawthah, which is fifty dinars because the septum represents half. If a projectile passed through one nostril, the septum, and exited through the other nostril, the compensation was sixty-six dinars. Upper Lip If the Upper Lip (Al-Shafah Al-Ulya) was completely cut off, its compensation was half of the full blood money, amounting to five hundred dinars. For any portion that was cut, the compensation would be calculated proportionally. If the upper lip was split and the teeth became visible but the wound healed and closed, the compensation for the injury was one-fifth of the blood money for the lip, which is one hundred dinars. The compensation for any portion of it would be determined accordingly. If the lip was split and became severely disfigured, its compensation was one hundred sixty-six and two-thirds dinars. The compiler of this book (may Allah (swt) have mercy on him) explained that shatar refers to the splitting of the lip from its lower part, either naturally or due to an injury. A lip in such a condition is referred to as shafah shatraa. Lower Lip If the Lower Lip (Al-Shafah Al-Sufla) was completely cut off, its compensation was two-thirds of the full blood money, amounting to six hundred sixty-six and two-thirds dinars. For any part of it that was cut, the compensation would be calculated proportionally. If it was split, exposing the teeth, and then healed and closed, the compensation was one hundred thirty-three and one-third dinars. If the injury caused severe and ugly disfigurement, the compensation was three hundred thirty-three and one-third dinars. I asked Abu Jafar Imam Muhammad ibn Ali Al-Baqir (as) about this, and he said: "It has reached us that the Commander of the Faithful (as) favored the lower lip in compensation because it holds water and food along with the teeth. For this reason, he gave it greater compensation in his rulings." Cheek If there was a penetrating wound in the Cheek (Al-Khadd) that exposed the inside of the mouth, its compensation was one hundred dinars. If the wound healed but left a clear and severe disfigurement, the compensation was fifty dinars. If both cheeks had penetrating wounds, the compensation was one hundred dinars, which is half the compensation for a wound that exposes the mouth. Wounds with Blades or Arrows If a sharp object, like an arrowhead, became lodged in the bone and penetrated to the palate, the compensation was one hundred fifty dinars - fifty dinars for the visible wound (mudihah) and the rest for the deeper injury. If it was a deep wound (naqibah) that did not fully penetrate, the compensation was one hundred dinars. For any visible wound (mudihah) on the face, the compensation was fifty dinars. If this wound caused disfigurement, the compensation for the disfigurement was one-fourth of the blood money for the visible wound. If there was a wound that did not expose the bone but healed, leaving a scar on the cheeks, the compensation was ten dinars. Head and Skull Injuries If there was a fracture (ṣadʿ) in the face, the compensation was eighty dinars. If a piece of flesh fell off without exposing the bone, about the size of a dirham or larger, the compensation was thirty dinars. For a wound that exposed the bone (mudihah) on the body, the compensation was forty dinars, and for the same injury on the head, it was fifty dinars. If the bone was displaced due to the injury, the compensation was one hundred fifty dinars. If there was a penetrating skull wound (naqibah) reaching the brain, known as ma'mumah, and the compensation was one-third of the full blood money, amounting to three hundred thirty-three and one-third dinars. Teeth Injuries For each tooth that was lost, the compensation was fifty dinars, and all teeth were treated equally in compensation; - the compensation for the central incisor (thaniyyah) was set at fifty dinars. - the compensation for the lateral incisor (rabaʿiyyah) was forty dinars, - for the canine tooth (nawb) it was thirty dinars, - and for the molar tooth (dars) it was twenty-five dinars. - If a tooth turned black within a year but did not fall out, its compensation was equal to that of a fallen tooth, which is fifty dinars. - If the tooth was cracked but did not fall out, its compensation was twenty-five dinars. - If part of it broke, the compensation was calculated proportionally from the fifty dinars. - If the tooth later fell out while it was blackened, the compensation was twenty-five dinars. - If it was cracked while blackened, the compensation was twelve and a half dinars. - For any portion that broke off, the compensation was calculated proportionally from the twenty-five dinars.
