كتاب العقولBook: On the Explanation of Blood Money
بَابُ مَا فِيهِ الدِّيَةُ كَامِلَةًCases where full blood money is due
Hadith 1507
حَدَّثَنِي يَحْيَى، عَنْ مَالِك، أَنَّهُ سَأَلَ ابْنَ شِهَابٍ : عَنِ الرَّجُلِ الْأَعْوَرِ يَفْقَأُ عَيْنَ الصَّحِيحِ ؟ فَقَالَ ابْنُ شِهَابٍ : " إِنْ أَحَبَّ الصَّحِيحُ أَنْ يَسْتَقِيدَ مِنْهُ فَلَهُ الْقَوَدُ، وَإِنْ أَحَبَّ فَلَهُ الدِّيَةُ أَلْفُ دِينَارٍ أَوِ اثْنَا عَشَرَ أَلْفَ دِرْهَمٍ " .
Imam Malik, may Allah have mercy on him, said: I asked Ibn Shihab, "If a one-eyed person puts out the eye of a good man, what should be done?" He said: He has the choice, whether to put out the eye of the one-eyed person or to take blood money—one thousand dinars or twelve thousand dirhams.
