موطأ مالك

9
وَحَدَّثَنِي عَنْ مَالِكٍ، عَنِ ابْنِ شِهَابٍ، وَبَلَغَهُ، عَنْ عُرْوَةَ بْنِ الزُّبَيْرِ، أَنَّهُمَا كَانَا يَقُولاَنِ مِثْلَ قَوْلِ سَعِيدِ بْنِ الْمُسَيَّبِ فِي الْمَرْأَةِ أَنَّهَا تُعَاقِلُ الرَّجُلَ إِلَى ثُلُثِ دِيَةِ الرَّجُلِ فَإِذَا بَلَغَتْ ثُلُثَ دِيَةِ الرَّجُلِ كَانَتْ إِلَى النِّصْفِ مِنْ دِيَةِ الرَّجُلِ . قَالَ مَالِكٌ وَتَفْسِيرُ ذَلِكَ أَنَّهَا تُعَاقِلُهُ فِي الْمُوضِحَةِ وَالْمُنَقَّلَةِ وَمَا دُونَ الْمَأْمُومَةِ وَالْجَائِفَةِ وَأَشْبَاهِهِمَا مِمَّا يَكُونُ فِيهِ ثُلُثُ الدِّيَةِ فَصَاعِدًا فَإِذَا بَلَغَتْ ذَلِكَ كَانَ عَقْلُهَا فِي ذَلِكَ النِّصْفَ مِنْ عَقْلِ الرَّجُلِ .


Yahya related to me from Malik that Ibn Shihab and also Urwaibn az-Zubayr said the same as Said ibn al-Musayyab said about awoman. Her blood-money from a man is the same up to a third of theblood-money of a man. If what she is owed exceeds a third of theblood-money of the man, she is given up to half of the blood-money ofa man.Malik said, "The explanation of that is that she hasblood-money for a head wound that lays bare the bone and one thatsplinters the bone and for what is less than the brain wound and thebelly wound and the like of that of those which obliges a third of theblood-money or more. If the amount owed her exceeds that, her blood-money in that is half of the blood-money of a man."
