A one-eyed man whose eye is gouged out

It is narrated from Abu Mijlaz that a man asked Sayyiduna Ibn Umar (may Allah be pleased with them both) about the blood money for gouging out the eye of a one-eyed person. Thereupon Abdullah bin Safwan said: "Sayyiduna Umar (may Allah be pleased with him) ruled the full blood money for it."

It is reported from Abu Iyad that Sayyiduna Uthman (may Allah be pleased with him) ruled the full blood money concerning a one-eyed man when his sound eye is injured.

Sayyiduna Ali (may Allah be pleased with him) said concerning a one-eyed man when his sound eye is injured: "If he wishes, he may have an eye gouged out in return for the eye and take half the blood money, and if he wishes, he may take only the full blood money."

Sayyiduna Ibn Umar (may Allah be pleased with them both) said: "When the eye of a one-eyed person is gouged out, the full blood money is due for it."

It is narrated from Lahiq bin Humayd that he, or someone else, asked Sayyiduna Ibn Umar (may Allah be pleased with them both) about a one-eyed man whose healthy eye is gouged out. Ibn Safwan was with Ibn Umar (may Allah be pleased with them both), and he said that Sayyiduna Umar (may Allah be pleased with him) had ruled that the full blood money was due in this case. The questioner then said: O Ibn Umar (may Allah be pleased with them both), I am asking you. He replied: You have asked me, when this man is telling you the report of Umar, that he ruled that the full blood money was due in this case?

Ibrahim said that the view of the earlier generations was that if someone gouged out the healthy eye of a one-eyed man, and he had not received compensation for the first eye, he would now receive the full blood money.

Ibrahim said: Some people of Banu Kahil claimed that this happened among them, and that Sayyiduna Uthman (may Allah be pleased with him) ruled in it the blood money of both eyes. We inquired into the depth of this and pursued it, but we found no way through to it, so the matter died down.

Umar bin Abd al-Aziz said that when only one eye remains and it then sustains an injury, the full blood money is due for it.

Sa'id bin al-Musayyib said that when the eye of a one-eyed person is gouged out, the full blood money is due for it.
