It is called a muḍiḥah because the wound lays the bone bare and makes it visible. The compensation for one muḍiḥah is half of one-tenth of the full blood-money—that is, five camels. If the injury extends downward so that it also affects the face, it is treated as two muḍiḥahs, since bone has been exposed in two distinct areas. Likewise, when an intact strip of skin separates two such injuries, they are reckoned as two muḍiḥahs, even when both are confined to the head alone or to the face alone.

2 – As for the fingers of the hands and feet, we have already stated that the blood-money for each finger is ten camels. Hence the ten fingers of the two hands amount to a full indemnity of one hundred camels, and the same calculation applies to the ten toes of the two feet.
