"The blood money (diyya) for a hand if it is cut off is fifty camels. As for wounds that are less severe than complete amputation, a ruling shall be made concerning them by two just individuals among you. And whoever does not judge by what Allah (swt) has revealed, then they are the disbelievers."
إِنْ كَانَ فَرَّقَ ذَلِكَ عَلَيْهِ اقْتُصَّ مِنْهُ ثُمَّ قُتِلَ وَ إِنْ كَانَ ضَرَبَهُ ضَرْبَةً وَاحِدَةً فَأَصَابَهُ ذَلِكَ ضُرِبَتْ عُنُقُهُ وَ لَمْ يُقْتَصَّ مِنْهُ.

"For the tongue of a mute person, the eye of a blind person, and the private parts and testicles of a free eunuch, one-third of the full blood money (diyya) is due. However, for the private part of a young boy, the full blood money is due."
سَمِعْتُ أَبَا عَبْدِ اللَّهِ ع يَقُولُ قَضَى أَمِيرُ الْمُؤْمِنِينَ ع فِي الرَّجُلِ يُضْرَبُ عَلَى عِجَانِهِ[1] فَلَا يَسْتَمْسِكُ غَائِطُهُ وَ لَا بَوْلُهُ إِنَّ فِي ذَلِكَ الدِّيَةَ كَامِلَةً[2].
I heard Abu Abdullah (as) say: "The Commander of the Faithful (as) ruled regarding a man who was struck on his hips, causing him to lose control over his stool and urine, that the full blood money (diyya) is due for that."

I asked Abu Jafar Imam Muhammad ibn Ali Al-Baqir (as) about a man who struck another man on his head with the pole of a tent, delivering a single blow that penetrated to his brain, causing him to lose his mind.

I asked Abu Jafar Imam Muhammad ibn Ali Al-Baqir (as) about a man who cut off the right hands of two men. Imam (as) replied: "O' Habib, his right hand is to be cut off in retaliation for the man whose right hand he first severed, and his left hand is to be cut off for the man whose right hand he severed afterward. This

"For the lower lip, the compensation is six thousand (dirhams), and for the upper lip, it is four thousand (dirhams) because the lower lip holds water."

"The Commander of the Faithful (as) ruled concerning a man who lost one of his eyes that an ostrich egg should be taken, and the man's healthy eye should be covered so he cannot see with it. Then, his vision should be measured to its limit, and the distance between the range of his injured eye and his healthy eye shoul
