Hadith.5532 - Safwan ibn Yahya Al-Azraq narrated from Abu Al-Hasan (as), regarding a man who was killed while owing a debt and left behind no wealth. His family took the blood money (diyyah) from his killer. Should they use it to settle his debt? Imam (as) said: "Yes." I asked: "Even though he left nothing behind?" Imam (as) replied: "They took his blood money, so they must use it to settle his debt."
