سُئِلَ عَنْ غُلَامٍ لَمْ يُدْرِكْ وَ امْرَأَةٍ قَتَلَا رَجُلًا خَطَأً فَقَالَ إِنَّ خَطَأَ الْمَرْأَةِ وَ الْغُلَامِ عَمْدٌ فَإِنْ أَحَبَّ أَوْلِيَاءُ الْمَقْتُولِ أَنْ يَقْتُلُوهُمَا قَتَلُوهُمَا وَ يُؤَدُّوا إِلَى أَوْلِيَاءِ الْغُلَامِ خَمْسَةَ آلَافِ دِرْهَمٍ وَ إِنْ أَحَبُّوا أَنْ يَقْتُلُوا الْغُلَامَ قَتَلُوهُ وَ تَرُدُّ الْمَرْأَةُ إِلَى أَوْلِيَاءِ الْغُلَامِ رُبُعَ الدِّيَةِ وَ إِنْ أَحَبَّ أَوْلِيَاءُ الْمَقْتُولِ أَنْ يَقْتُلَ الْمَرْأَةَ قَتَلُوهَا وَ يَرُدُّ الْغُلَامُ عَلَى أَوْلِيَاءِ الْمَرْأَةِ رُبُعَ الدِّيَةِ قَالَ وَ إِنْ أَحَبَّ أَوْلِيَاءُ الْمَقْتُولِ أَنْ يَأْخُذُوا الدِّيَةَ كَانَ عَلَى الْغُلَامِ نِصْفُ الدِّيَةِ وَ عَلَى الْمَرْأَةِ نِصْفُ الدِّيَةِ .
Translation
Muhmmad Bin Yahya, from Ahmad Bin Muhammad and Ali Bin Ibrahim, from his father, both together from Al Hassan Bin Mahboub, from Hisham Bin Salim, from Abu Baseer, (It has been narrated) from Abu Ja’far<sup>asws</sup> having been asked about a boy who had yet to mature and a woman, both killed a man in error. So he<sup>asws</sup> said: ‘The error of the woman and the boy is (considered) deliberate. So if the guardians of the killed one like to kill both of them, they can kill them both and pay five thousand Dirhams to the guardians of the boy; and if they like to kill the boy, they kill him and the guardians of the woman return a quarter of the wergild to the guardians of the boy; and if the guardians of the killed one kill the woman, and the boy return a quarter of the wergild to the guardians of the woman; and if the guardians of the killed one like to take the wergild, upon the boy is half the wergild, and upon the woman is half the wergild’.
