Section: The diya for head wounds (shajjah) and penetrating wounds (jaʾifah)4
A shajjah is a wound inflicted upon the head5 or the face.
There are five types:
- The muḍīḥah, which lays the bone bare and exposes it; its compensation is half of one-tenth of the full diya (i.e., one-twentieth).
(4) The phrase “on the blood-money for a cranial fissure (shajja) and a penetrating wound (jaifah)” is absent from MS N.
(5) MS A reads: “the designation of the head wound.”
