Hadith 31408

Yahya related to me from Malik from Yahya ibn Said from Sulaymanibn Yasar that Zayd ibn Thabit used to say, "When the eye remains butthe sight is lost, one hundred dinars are payable for it."Yahya said, "Malik was asked about cutting off the lower lid of theeye and the bone around the eye. He said, 'There is only ijtihad inthat unless the vision of the eye is impaired. He is entitled to anamount that is compatible to the extent the vision of the eye has beenimpaired."Yahya said that Malik said, "What is done in ourcommunity about removing the bad eye of a one-eyed man when it hasalready been blinded and still remains there in its place and theparalyzed hand when it is cut off, is that there is only ijtihad inthat, and there is no prescribed blood-money."
