The Messenger of Allah ﷺ ruled that for a blind eye that remained in its socket, if it was gouged out, one-third of its blood-money was due. For a paralyzed hand, if it was cut off, one-third of its blood-money was due. And for a blackened tooth, if it was pulled out, one-third of its blood-money was due.
أن رسول الله ﷺ قضى في العين العوراء السادة لمكانها إذا طمست بثلث ديتها. وفي اليد الشلاء إذا قطعت بثلث ديتها، وفي السن السوداء إذا نزعت بثلث ديتها.
Narrated by Nasai (4840) and Abu Dawud (4567), both from the hadith of Haytham bin Humayd, who said, Ala bin Harith narrated to us, who said, Amr bin Shuayb narrated to me, from his father, from his grandfather, and he mentioned it.Its chain is hasan because of Amr bin Shuayb, and the narrator from him, Ala bin Harith bin Warith Hadrami Dimashqi, is trustworthy. The majority of scholars declared him trustworthy, though he suffered a slight confusion in memory late in life, which is why the imams did not concern themselves with this confusion, and his narrations are few.This is what Imam Ahmad held in one of his two narrated positions, while his second position is that in each case there is a separate ruling. The other imams, Abu Hanifa, Malik, and Shafii, held the same view.In the Muwatta, in the chapter on blood money (20), it is reported from Zayd bin Thabit that for a functioning eye which is put out, the compensation is one hundred dinars.Malik said, "Our position regarding a functioning eye that has gone blind when it is put out, and a paralyzed hand when it is cut off, is that there is no fixed compensation for these, only independent judgment applies."And Shafii said, "The ruling of Zayd bin Thabit was based on his own independent judgment."
