كتاب العقولBook: On the Explanation of Blood Money
بَابُ دِيَةِ الْخَطَأِ فِي الْقَتْلِBlood money for accidental killing
Hadith 1499B2
قَالَ مَالِك : وَمَنْ قُتِلَ خَطَأً فَإِنَّمَا عَقْلُهُ مَالٌ لَا قَوَدَ فِيهِ، وَإِنَّمَا هُوَ كَغَيْرِهِ مِنْ مَالِهِ يُقْضَى بِهِ دَيْنُهُ وَتَجُوزُ فِيهِ وَصِيَّتُهُ، فَإِنْ كَانَ لَهُ مَالٌ تَكُونُ الدِّيَةُ قَدْرَ ثُلُثِهِ ثُمَّ عَفَا عَنْ دِيَتِهِ فَذَلِكَ جَائِزٌ لَهُ، وَإِنْ لَمْ يَكُنْ لَهُ مَالٌ غَيْرُ دِيَتِهِ جَازَ لَهُ مِنْ ذَلِكَ الثُّلُثُ إِذَا عَفَا عَنْهُ وَأَوْصَى بِهِ
Imam Malik, may Allah have mercy on him, said: Whoever is killed by mistake, his blood money will be like his and his wealth, from which his debt will be paid, and his bequests will be fulfilled. If he has so much wealth that it is twice the amount of the blood money and he forgives the blood money, it is permissible. And if he does not have so much wealth, then he can forgive according to one third, because the rest is also the right of the heirs.
