As for retaliation concerning the limbs, every limb severed at a joint is subject to retaliation: a hand for a hand, a foot for a foot, a finger for a finger, a thumb for a thumb, and a tooth for its like. A right hand is not taken for a left hand, nor an upper tooth for a lower tooth; nor is a molar taken for another tooth, or a central incisor for a lateral incisor. Nor is the tooth of someone whose milk teeth have fallen out taken in retaliation for the tooth of someone whose milk tooth has not yet fallen out. A sound hand is not taken for a paralyzed hand, nor a speaking tongue for the tongue of a mute. A writing hand or a skilled working hand is taken in retaliation for the hand of someone who neither writes nor practices a craft. An intact but sightless eye and a paralyzed hand may be taken only for their like. A nose that can smell may be taken in retaliation for an anosmic nose, and a hearing ear for a deaf ear. Retaliation is exacted between an Arab and a non-Arab, and between a person of noble lineage and one of lowly lineage.

If retaliation for these limbs is waived in favor of diyah, the loss of both hands entails the full diyah, and the loss of one entails half the diyah. For each finger, there are ten camels—one-tenth of the diyah. For each phalanx of the fingers, there are three and one-third camels, except for the phalanx of the thumb, for which there are five camels. The diyah for both feet is like that for the hands, except that five camels are due for each of their toe joints.

For both eyes, the full diyah is due. For the four eyelids, the full diyah is due, and for each eyelid, one-quarter of the diyah. For the nose, the full diyah is due; for both ears, the full diyah; and for one ear, half the diyah. For the tongue, the full diyah is due, and for both lips, the full diyah; for one lip, half the diyah. For each tooth, five camels are due. A molar is not valued above another tooth, nor a central incisor above a wisdom tooth.

For the loss of hearing, the full diyah is due, and likewise for the loss of the sense of smell. If he cuts off the ear and thereby causes loss of hearing, two diyahs are due from him. Similarly, if he cuts off the nose and thereby causes loss of smell, two diyahs are due from him. For the loss of speech, the full diyah is due. If he cuts out the tongue and thereby causes loss of speech, only one diyah is due. For the loss of reason, the full diyah is due, and for the penis, the full diyah. For the penis of an intersex person or an impotent man, an assessed compensation fixed at one-third of the diyah is due. For both testicles, the full diyah is due, and for one, half the diyah. For both buttocks, the full diyah is due, and for one, half the diyah. For a woman’s two breasts, her full diyah is due; for one breast, half the diyah. For a man’s two breasts, the full diyah is due.
