624—In the last category, there is no retaliation1. Rather:

a. The expiation must come from the killer’s own property.

b. The blood money is borne by his āqila (male agnatic kin), comprising all his agnates, near and distant. It is apportioned among them according to their means and made payable over three years, with them bearing one-third each year.

625—The amounts of blood money for loss of life and for other injuries are detailed in the hadith of Amr ibn Hazm: “The Prophet (may Allah bless him and grant him peace) [wrote] to the people of Yemen, and it contained the following:

—Whoever kills a believer without lawful cause2, once this is established by clear evidence, is subject to retaliation unless the victim’s heirs consent otherwise.

—The blood money for a life is one hundred camels3.

—For the nose, when it is severed entirely4: the full blood money.

—For the tongue: the full blood money.

—For both lips: the full blood money.

—For the penis: the full blood money.

(1) *Al-qawad* means *qisās* (retaliation in kind). (2) That is, he killed him although the victim had committed no offense or wrongdoing. (3) In *al-Mukhtārāt al-Jaliyya*, p. 116, the Shaykh established that camels are the original standard for blood money and that the other forms are substitutes for them; he then presented evidence for this view. (4) In B and T: “its severance.”

٦٢٤- ففي الأخير لا قود١، بَلْ: أَ- اَلْكَفَّارَةُ فِي مَالِ اَلْقَاتِلِ. بِ- وَالدِّيَةَ عَلَى عَاقِلَتِهِ، وَهُمْ: عَصِبَاتُهُ كُلُّهُمْ، قَرِيبهمْ وَبِعِيدِهِمْ، تَوَزَّعَ عَلَيْهِمْ بِقَدْرِ حَالِهِمْ، وَتُؤَجِّلُ عَلَيْهِمْ ثَلَاثِ سِنِينَ، كُلِّ سنةٍ يَحْمِلُونَ ثُلُثُهَا. ٦٢٥- واَلدِّيَاتُ لِلنَّفْسِ وَغَيْرِهَا قَدْ فَصَّلْت فِي حَدِيثِ عَمْرِوِ بْنِ حَزْمٍ: "أَنَّ اَلنَّبِيَّ ﷺ إلى أهل اليمن وفيه: -أن من اعتبط مؤمناً قتلاًَ٢ عن بينة فإنه قَوَدٌ إِلَّا أَنْ يَرْضَى أَوْلِيَاءُ اَلْمَقْتُولِ. -وَإِنْ في النفس: الدية، مائة من الإبل٣. - وفي الأنف إذا أوعب جدعا٤: اَلدِّيَةُ. - وَفِي اَللِّسَانِ: اَلدِّيَةُ. - وَفِي اَلشَّفَتَيْنِ: اَلدِّيَةُ. - وفي الذكر: الدية.

١ القود: القصاص. ٢ أي: قتل بلا جناية ولا جريرة. ٣ قرر الشيخ "في المختارات الجلية ص ١١٦": أن الأصل في الديات الإبل، والباقيات أبدال عنها، ثم دلل على ذلك. ٤ في "ب، ط": جدعه.
