When his hearing and sight are lost

Sayyiduna Zayd bin Thabit (may Allah be pleased with him) said: When a man is beaten so badly that his hearing is lost, there is blood money (diyah) for it.

It is narrated that al-Hasan said: For someone who was struck and lost his hearing, speech and sight, there are three payments of blood money (diyah).

Awf said: Before the fitnah of Ibn al-Ash'ath I heard an old man (he described him, and they said: That is Abu al-Muhallab, the paternal uncle of Abu Qilabah) say: A man was struck on the head by a stone, and he lost his intellect, his virility, his hearing and his speech, and he was no longer capable with women. Sayyiduna Umar (may Allah be pleased with him) gave judgment of four payments of blood money (diyah) for him.

Sa'id bin al-Musayyib said: For hearing there is blood money (diyah).

Mujahid said: For the loss of hearing, the blood money (diyah) is fifty camels.

Ibn Jurayj said: I asked Ata about a man who received injuries to his extremities whose value exceeded even his blood money (diyah). He replied: I have heard nothing about this, but I think he should be compensated for all the injuries to his extremities, even if that exceeds his blood money.

Ibn Jurayj said: Ibn Shihab said about a man who gouged out his companion's eye and cut off his nose and ear: All of it is to be counted up.

It is narrated from Qatadah that al-Hasan was asked about a man who was hit with a stone, or struck on the head, and then lost his speech, and his sight and hearing also went. Al-Hasan said: Several payments of blood money (diyah) are due: one for his hearing, one for his sight, and one for his tongue. It was said to al-Hasan: "Then he has come out well." He replied: By Allah, he has neither come out well nor attained success.
