موطا امام مالك رواية يحييٰ
Muwatta Imam Malik (Riwayat Yahya)
كتاب الحجBook: On the Explanation of Hajj
بَابُ فِدْيَةِ مَا أُصِيبَ مِنَ الطَّيْرِ وَالْوَحْشِCompensation for What is Killed of Birds and Wild Animals
Hadith 937B5
قَالَ مَالِك : وَكُلُّ شَيْءٍ فُدِيَ فَفِي صِغَارِهِ مِثْلُ مَا يَكُونُ فِي كِبَارِهِ، وَإِنَّمَا مَثَلُ ذَلِكَ مَثَلُ دِيَةِ الْحُرِّ الصَّغِيرِ وَالْكَبِيرِ فَهُمَا بِمَنْزِلَةٍ وَاحِدَةٍ سَوَاءٌ
Imam Malik, may Allah have mercy on him, said: The compensation for an animal remains the same as its prescribed recompense, whether the animal is small or large, just as the blood money for a minor and an adult is equal. That is, the compensation for a small deer is also one goat, and the compensation for a large deer is also one goat, just as if someone kills an adult man, the blood money is the same, and if someone kills a boy, the blood money is also the same.
