دِيَةُ الْجَنِينِ خَمْسَةُ أَجْزَاءٍ خُمُسٌ لِلنُّطْفَةِ عِشْرُونَ دِينَاراً وَ لِلْعَلَقَةِ خُمُسَانِ أَرْبَعُونَ دِينَاراً وَ لِلْمُضْغَةِ ثَلَاثَةُ أَخْمَاسٍ سِتُّونَ دِينَاراً وَ لِلْعَظْمِ أَرْبَعَةُ أَخْمَاسٍ ثَمَانُونَ دِينَاراً فَإِذَا تَمَّ الْجَنِينُ كَانَتْ لَهُ مِائَةُ دِينَارٍ فَإِذَا أُنْشِئَ فِيهِ الرُّوحُ فَدِيَتُهُ أَلْفُ دِينَارٍ أَوْ عَشَرَةُ آلَافِ دِرْهَمٍ إِنْ كَانَ ذَكَراً وَ إِنْ كَانَ أُنْثَى فَخَمْسُمِائَةِ دِينَارٍ وَ إِنْ قُتِلَتِ الْمَرْأَةُ وَ هِيَ حُبْلَى فَلَمْ يُدْرَ أَ ذَكَراً كَانَ وَلَدُهَا أَوْ أُنْثَى فَدِيَةُ الْوَلَدِ نِصْفَانِ نِصْفُ دِيَةِ الذَّكَرِ وَ نِصْفُ دِيَةِ الْأُنْثَى وَ دِيَتُهَا كَامِلَةٌ .
Translation
Ali Bin Ibrahim, from Muhammad Bin Isa, from Yunus, or someone else, from Ibn Muskan, Abu Abdullah<sup>asws</sup> has said: ‘Wergild of the foetus is of five segments, one-fifth for the seed being twenty Dinars; and two-fifths for the clot being forty dinars; and three-fifths for the lump, being sixty Dinars; and four-fifths for the bones, being eighty Dinars. So when the foetus is complete, there would be one-hundred Dinars for it. So when the spirit prevails in it, so its wergild would be a thousand Dinars, or ten thousand Dirhams, if it was a male; and if it was a female, so it would be five hundred Dinars. And if the woman is killed and she is pregnant, so it is not know whether her child was a male of a female, so the wergild of the child is in two halves – half the wergild of the male, and half the wergild of the female, and her wergild would be complete’.
