What the aqilah bears

Ibn Abi Dhi'b said that Umar bin Abd al-Aziz ordered that blood money be paid for a muwaddihah (a head wound that exposes the bone).

Ibn Abi Dhi'b reported from a man that Sa'id bin al-Musayyib said: The 'aqilah (the kin group liable for blood money) shall not pay blood money except for one third or more.

Umar bin Abd al-Rahman al-Sahmi reported from a man that a man came to Sayyiduna Umar bin al-Khattab (may Allah be pleased with him) concerning a head wound (muwaddihah), and he said: We do not jointly pay blood money among ourselves for scraps of flesh.

Isa said that al-Sha'bi stated: There is no blood money for anything less than a head wound (muwaddihah).

Ibn Jurayj said: I asked Ata: When does the blood money reach the amount at which all of the 'aqilah (the kin group liable for blood money) pay it together; is it when it reaches one third? He said: Yes, I think so, and I have no doubt that he also said: As long as it does not reach one third, it falls upon the man's own people specifically.

Abu Umayyah al-Akhnasi said: I was sitting with Sayyiduna Umar bin al-Khattab (may Allah be pleased with him) when a man from the tribe of Banu Ghifar came and said: My son has been wounded in the head. He said: The people of the settlements do not pay blood money for these bits of flesh.
