And the Messenger of Allah ruled that if a person’s blood money was paid in cattle, among those who kept cattle, the amount was two hundred cows; and if a person’s blood money was paid in sheep, among this who kept sheep, the value was two thousand sheep. The Messenger of Allah ruled that the blood money is part of the estate, to be divided among the heirs of the victim according to their allotted shares, and whatever is left over is for the ‘Asabah. And the Messenger of Allah ruled that if a woman commits urder then he ‘Asahah, whoever they may be, must pay the blood money, but they do not inherit anything except that which is left over from her heirs; if a woman is killed then her blood money is to be shared among her heirs, and they may kill her killer.
