Chapter on Al-'Aqilah (Collective Responsibility for Blood Money)

344. hadíth

وَ قَالَ أَمِيرُ اَلْمُؤْمِنِينَ عَلَيْهِ اَلسَّلاَمُ: "لاَ تَعْقِلُ اَلْعَاقِلَةُ إِلاَّ مَا قَامَتْ عَلَيْهِ اَلْبَيِّنَةُ وَ أَتَاهُ رَجُلٌ فَاعْتَرَفَ عِنْدَهُ فَجَعَلَهُ فِي مَالِهِ خَاصَّةً وَ لَمْ يَجْعَلْ عَلَى عَاقِلَتِهِ مِنْهُ شَيْئاً".

Commander of the Faithful (a.s) said: "The Aqilah (the male relatives responsible for blood money) is only liable for what has been established by evidence. If a man came to him and confessed (to a crime), he made its compensation from his own wealth specifically and did not place any responsibility on his Aqilah for it."
