‘Amr ibn Shu‘ayb reported from his father that his grandfather, ‘Abdullāh ibn ‘Amr, said: "The Messenger of Allah (may Allah’s peace and blessings be upon him) said: 'The blood money of a woman in the event of bodily injury is the same as that of a man, as long as it is less than one-third of the blood money (due for her murder). '"
It was reported that the scholars have unanimously agreed that the blood money of a woman, whether Muslim or non-Muslim, is half that of a man who follows the same religion. In terms of retribution for bodily injury, a woman equals a man who follows the same religion, only as long as it is less than one-third of the full blood money for her life. If it reached one third or more, then it is half of that of a man. The rationale is that it is affordable to pay the amount due as long as it is less than one third of the full blood money, while this is not the case when it exceeds that value. Although this is a weak Hadīth, the scholars have applied it for two reasons: - It is not too weak. - It was reported that the Companions (may Allah be pleased with him) acted upon it.
