Al-Kafi 14310

Translation

And regarding the forearm, when it breaks, then is bandaged upon and there is no fault, so its wergild is one-third of a wergild of the soul, being three hundred and thirty three Dinars and one-third of a Dinar. So if one of the two bones of the forearm breaks, its wergild is a fifth of the wergild of the hand, being one hundred Dinars. So if both the bones of the forearm were to break, its wergild is (still) a fifth of the wergild of the hand, being one hundred Dinars. And regarding the breaking of one of the two wrists, it is fifty Dinars, and regarding both of these is one hundred Dinars. So if one of the two bones cracks, so regarding it is four-fifths of the wergild of one of the two bones of the forearms, being forty Dinars; and the wergild for its exposure is a quarter of the wergild of its breaking, being twenty five Dinars; and wergild of the displacement of its bones is a quarter of the wergild of its breaking, being twenty five Dinars; and the wergild of its piercing is half the wergild of its exposure, being twelve Dinars and half a Dinar; and wergild of its being jabbed is fifty Dinars. So if there was a scar in it which does not get cured, so its wergild is one-third of the wergild of the forearm, being thirty-three Dinars, and one-third of a Dinar, that is one-third of the wergild of that which is in it’.
