Blood Money for Loss of Hearing and Sight

Hazrat Zaid bin Thabit said that if a person is beaten so much that he loses his hearing, then blood money (diyat) is due for it.

It is narrated from Hasan that he said: Whoever is struck and loses his hearing, speech, and sight, then there will be three blood monies (diyahs) for him.

Hazrat Auf narrates that I heard from an old man before the turmoil of Ibn al-Ash'ath that a man was struck by a stone on his head, which caused him to lose his intellect, memory, hearing, and speech, and he was no longer capable of being with women. So Umar gave the verdict of four blood monies (diyahs) regarding him.

Hazrat Saeed bin Musayyib has said that there is diyah (blood money) for hearing.

Hazrat Mujahid said that upon the loss of hearing, the compensation is fifty camels.

Hazrat Ibn Jurayj said that I asked Ata about a person who had such wounds on his sides and surroundings that their amount exceeded his blood money (diyah)? So he replied that I have not heard anything about this, and I think that compensation should be given for all the wounds on his sides, even if it exceeds his blood money.

Hazrat Ibn Jurayj states that Ibn Shihab said regarding a person who gouged out his companion’s eye and cut off his nose and ear, that the value of all these will be calculated in full.

It is narrated from Qatadah that Hasan was asked about a person who was struck with a stone or his head was struck, then his ability to speak was lost and his sight and hearing also went away? So Hasan said that several blood monies (diyahs) would be obligatory in this case: one for his ear, one for his eyes, and one for his tongue. So it was said to Hasan, "Then he is well off." He replied, "He is neither well off nor has he attained success."
