A man who owes blood money and is among the owners of cattle or sheep

Ibn Tawus reports from his father: "100 camels, or their value in something other than camels."

Al-Sha'bi said: "The people of camels will give camels, the people of cattle cows, the people of goats goats, and the people of silver silver."

It is narrated from al-Hasan that Sayyiduna Umar and Sayyiduna Uthman (may Allah be pleased with them both) set a value on the blood money and left that to the one receiving it: if he wished, he would take camels, and if he wished, he would take the value.

Umar bin Abd al-Aziz said: "If the one who commits the killing is a Bedouin, the blood money is 100 camels; a Bedouin will not be burdened with gold or silver. And when a Bedouin kills a Bedouin, the blood money is 100 camels. If the relatives do not have camels, then its equivalent in goats is 2,000."

Ibn Tawus said that his father said: "They will pay the blood money at the value of camels on that day, however high it may be, from whatever type (goats, cows and so on) they pay it, if the value of camels is high, and if it is low, they will still pay their value."

Ibn Jurayj said: I said to Ata: "If the villager wishes, may he give one hundred camels, or two hundred cows, or two thousand goats, and not give gold?" He said: "If he wishes, he may give camels and not give gold."

He said: And Ata said: It used to be said: "Upon the owners of camels, camels; upon the owners of cows, cows; and upon the owners of goats, goats."

Al-Hasan said: "If the owners of cows and goats wish, they may also give camels."

Sayyiduna Abu Bakr (may Allah be pleased with him) said: "For the one whose blood money is in the form of goats, one camel is equal to twenty goats, and for the one whose blood money is in the form of cows, each camel is equal to two cows."
