It is narrated from Ikrimah that Umar decided the blood money for villagers to be twelve thousand and said that times are changing and I fear for you from the rulers after me, so there is no excessiveness in making the blood money for villagers more severe. And neither in the sacred months nor in sanctity, and there is no severity in the blood money of villagers, there is no increase in it.

It is narrated from Hazrat Amr bin Shu'aib that indeed Qatadah, who was a man from Banu Mudlij, killed his own son, so Umar took one hundred camels: thirty hiqqah (those entering their fourth year), thirty jadh'ah (those entering their fifth year), and forty pregnant she-camels.

Hazrat Ibn Umar (may Allah be pleased with them both) narrated that the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) delivered a sermon on the day of the conquest of Makkah. He stood on the steps of the Ka'bah and then said: "All praise is due to Allah, Who fulfilled His promise, helped His servant, and defeated the confederates alone. Beware! Indeed, for a person killed unintentionally with a whip or stick, there is a heavy blood money (diyah), that is, one hundred camels, of which forty are such pregnant she-camels whose offspring are in their wombs."

It is narrated from Hasan regarding the ages of camels in the ruling of blood money: he says, thirty pregnant, thirty that are in their second year, twenty that are in their third year, and twenty that are in their fourth year.
