Chapter on Retaliation (Qisas) and the Amount of Blood Money (Diyyah)

230. hadíth

وَ سَأَلَ مُعَاوِيَةُ بْنُ وَهْبٍ أَبَا عَبْدِ اَللَّهِ عَلَيْهِ اَلسَّلاَمُ: عَنْ دِيَةِ اَلْعَمْدِ فَقَالَ "مِائَةٌ مِنْ فُحُولَةِ اَلْإِبِلِ اَلْمَسَانِّ فَإِنْ لَمْ يَكُنْ فَمَكَانَ كُلِّ جَمَلٍ عِشْرُونَ مِنْ فُحُولَةِ اَلْغَنَمِ".

Muawiyah ibn Wahb asked Abu Abdullah (a.s) about the blood money (diyyah) for intentional killing. Imam (a.s) said: "It is one hundred mature male camels. If they are not available, then for each camel, twenty mature male sheep are to be given in its place."
