Yahyarelated to me from Malik that he heard Ibn Shihab say, "The precedentof the sunna when a man injures a woman is that he must pay the blood-money for that injury and there is no retaliation against him."Malik said, "That is an accidental injury, when a man strikes awoman and hits with a blow what he did not intend, for instance, if hestruck her with a whip and cut her eye open and the like of that."Malik said about a woman who has a husband and children whoare not from her paternal relatives or her people, that since he isfrom another tribe, there is no blood-money against her husband forher criminal action, nor any against her children if they are not fromher people, nor any against her maternal brothers when they are notfrom her paternal relations or her people. These are entitled to herinheritance but only the paternal relations have paid blood-money fromsince the time of the Messenger of Allah, may Allah bless him andgrant him peace. Until today it is like that with the mawla of awoman. The inheritance they leave goes to the children of the womaneven if they are not from her tribe, but the blood-money of thecriminal act of the mawla is only against her tribe."
