موطا امام مالك رواية يحييٰ
Muwatta Imam Malik (Riwayat Yahya)
كتاب القسامةBook: On the Explanation of Qasamah (Oath in Murder Cases)
بَابُ الْقَسَامَةِ فِي قَتْلِ الْخَطَإِQasama (oath procedure) in accidental killing
Hadith 1540Q9
Imam Malik, may Allah have mercy on him, said that if the heirs of the murdered person are only women, then they alone will take the oath and receive the blood money. And if the murdered person has only one male heir, then he will be given fifty oaths, and after taking those fifty oaths, he will receive the blood money. This ruling is for accidental killing, not for intentional murder.
