كتاب العقولBook: On the Explanation of Blood Money
بَابُ عَقْلِ الْجِرَاحِ فِي الْخَطَإِBlood money for wounds in accidental cases
Hadith 1500B3
قَالَ مَالِكٌ : الْأَمْرُ الْمُجْتَمَعُ عَلَيْهِ عِنْدَنَا : أَنَّ الطَّبِيبَ إِذَا خَتَنَ، فَقَطَعَ الْحَشَفَةَ إِنَّ عَلَيْهِ الْعَقْلَ، وَأَنَّ ذَلِكَ مِنَ الْخَطَإِ الَّذِي تَحْمِلُهُ الْعَاقِلَةُ، وَأَنَّ كُلَّ مَا أَخْطَأَ بِهِ الطَّبِيبُ أَوْ تَعَدَّى إِذَا لَمْ يَتَعَمَّدْ ذَلِكَ، فَفِيهِ الْعَقْلُ.
Imam Malik, may Allah have mercy on him, said: In our view, this ruling is agreed upon that if a surgeon, while performing circumcision, mistakenly cuts off the glans, then blood money (diyah) is due, and this diyah will be upon the 'aqilah (the male relatives responsible for paying blood money). Similarly, if a physician makes a mistake out of forgetfulness or error, then blood money is due (but if it is done intentionally, then retribution (qisas) applies).
