ibn Abi Abd ar-Rahman said, "I asked Said ibn al Musayyab, 'How
much for the finger of a woman?' He said, 'Ten camels' I said, 'How
much for two fingers?' He said, 'Twenty camels.' I said, 'How much for
three?' He said, 'Thirty camels.' I said, 'How much for four?' He
said, 'Twenty camels.' I said, 'When her wound is greater and her
affliction stronger, is her blood-money then less?' He said, 'Are you
an Iraqi?' I said, 'Rather, I am a scholar who seeks to verify things,
or an ignorant man who seeks to learn.' Said said, 'It is the sunna,
my nephew.' "
Malik said, "What is done in our community
about all the fingers of the hand being cut off is that its blood-
money is complete. That is because when five fingers are cut, their
blood-money is the blood-money of the hand: fifty camels. Each finger
has ten camels."
Malik said, "The reckoning of the fingers is
thirty-three dinars for each fingertip, and that is three and a third
shares of camels."
