فِي رَجُلٍ يَقْتُلُ الْمَرْأَةَ مُتَعَمِّداً فَأَرَادَ أَهْلُ الْمَرْأَةِ أَنْ يَقْتُلُوهُ قَالَ ذَلِكَ لَهُمْ إِذَا أَدَّوْا إِلَى أَهْلِهِ نِصْفَ الدِّيَةِ وَ إِنْ قَبِلُوا الدِّيَةَ فَلَهُمْ نِصْفُ دِيَةِ الرَّجُلِ وَ إِنْ قَتَلَتِ الْمَرْأَةُ الرَّجُلَ قُتِلَتْ بِهِ وَ لَيْسَ لَهُمْ إِلَّا نَفْسُهَا وَ قَالَ جِرَاحَاتُ الرِّجَالِ وَ النِّسَاءِ سَوَاءٌ سِنُّ الْمَرْأَةِ بِسِنِّ الرَّجُلِ وَ مُوضِحَةُ الْمَرْأَةِ بِمُوضِحَةِ الرَّجُلِ وَ إِصْبَعُ الْمَرْأَةِ بِإِصْبَعِ الرَّجُلِ حَتَّى تَبْلُغَ الْجِرَاحَةُ ثُلُثَ الدِّيَةِ فَإِذَا بَلَغَتْ ثُلُثَ الدِّيَةِ أُضْعِفَتْ دِيَةُ الرَّجُلِ عَلَى دِيَةِ الْمَرْأَةِ .
Translation
Ali Bin Ibrahim, from hi sfather, from Ibn Abu Umeyr, from Hammad, from Al Halby, (It has been narrated) from Abu Abdullah<sup>asws</sup> having said regarding a man who killed the woman deliberately. So the family of the woman intended to kill him. He<sup>asws</sup> said: ‘That is for them. When he gives half the wergild to her family, and if they accept the wergild, so for them is half the wergild which is for the man. And if the woman kills the man, she would be killed due to it, and there would be nothing for them except for her soul’. And he<sup>asws</sup> said: ‘The injuries of the men and the women are equal, tooth of the man with the tooth of the woman, and a bone of the man and a bone of the man, and a finger of the woman with a finger of the man, until the injuries reach a third of the wergild. So when they reach a third of the wergild, the wergild of the man is double over the wergild of the woman’.
