—within which the brain is located—and for such a wound one-third of the diyah is due.
7 – The jāʾifah is a stab wound that penetrates the internal cavity, whether it enters from the abdomen, the back, the chest, the throat, or even the head; it likewise entails one-third of the diyah.
8 – The munaqqilah, which exposes the bone, crushes it, and displaces its fragments, requires fifteen camels in compensation, by the unanimous agreement of the scholars.
9 – As for the fingers of the hand or foot, each finger carries one-tenth of the diyah, namely ten camels. The reason is that the fingers of both hands together amount to the full diyah, and the fingers of both feet likewise amount to the full diyah, so each finger is valued at one-tenth.
• The distal phalanx (anmulah) of a thumb—whether of the hand or the foot—carries one-half of that one-tenth, i.e., five camels, because the thumb has only two phalanges.
• The phalanx of any finger other than the thumb carries one-third of one-tenth of the diyah, since every such finger has three phalanges.
10 – The compensation for a tooth—whether an incisor, molar, or canine—is five camels, which is half of a tenth of the diyah.
A complete set of teeth numbers thirty-two: four central incisors, four lateral incisors, four canines, and twenty molars, ten on each side—five upper and five lower. The total diyah for all the teeth therefore comes to one hundred and sixty camels.
11 – If a man deliberately and unlawfully kills a woman, he is executed in retaliation. The fact that her diyah is lower than his does not bar qiṣāṣ, for she is his equal with respect to the sanctity of life.
12 – When the diyah is reckoned in gold, it is set at one thousand dinars, which is approximately 4,250 grams.
