سَأَلْتُ أَبَا عَبْدِ اللَّهِ ( عليه السلام ) عَنِ الْجِرَاحَاتِ فَقَالَ جِرَاحَةُ الْمَرْأَةِ مِثْلُ جِرَاحَةِ الرَّجُلِ حَتَّى تَبْلُغَ ثُلُثَ الدِّيَةِ فَإِذَا بَلَغَتْ ثُلُثَ الدِّيَةِ سَوَاءً أُضْعِفَتْ جِرَاحَةُ الرَّجُلِ ضِعْفَيْنِ عَلَى جِرَاحَةِ الْمَرْأَةِ وَ سِنُّ الرَّجُلِ وَ سِنُّ الْمَرْأَةِ سَوَاءٌ وَ قَالَ إِنْ قَتَلَ رَجُلٌ امْرَأَةً عَمْداً فَأَرَادَ أَهْلُ الْمَرْأَةِ أَنْ يَقْتُلُوا الرَّجُلَ رَدُّوا إِلَى أَهْلِ الرَّجُلِ نِصْفَ الدِّيَةِ وَ قَتَلُوهُ قَالَ وَ سَأَلْتُهُ عَنِ امْرَأَةٍ قَتَلَتْ رَجُلًا قَالَ تُقْتَلُ بِهِ وَ لَا يَغْرَمُ أَهْلُهَا شَيْئاً .
Translation
Muhammad Bin Yahya, from Ahmad Bin Muhammad, from Ali Bin Al Hakam, from Ali Bin Abu Hamza, from Abu Baseer who said, ‘I asked Abu Abdullah<sup>asws</sup> about the injuries, so he<sup>asws</sup> said: ‘The injuries of the woman are like the injuries of the man until it reaches a third of the wergild. So when it reaches to be the same as a third of the wergild, the injuries of the man is additional by double upon the injuries of the woman; but a tooth of the man and a tooth of the woman are equal’. And he<sup>asws</sup> said: ‘If a man kills a woman deliberately, so the family of the woman intend that they kill the man, they should return half the wergild to the family of the man, and they can kill him’. He (the narrator) said, ‘And I asked him<sup>asws</sup> about a woman who kills a man. He<sup>asws</sup> said: ‘She would be killed due to it, and there her family would not be fined anything’.
