Hazrat Amr bin Shu'aib narrates that Hazrat Abu Bakr ruled that if the tongue is cut off from the root, then full blood money (diyah) is due, and if it is cut but the person can still speak, then half blood money is due.

Hazrat Jurayj said that Sulaiman bin Musa stated that it is written in the book of Umar bin Abdul Aziz that if the tongue is cut so much that a person becomes unable to speak, then full blood money (diyah) is due, and if it is cut less than that, then half blood money is due.

Hazrat Ibn Jurayj states that Abdul Aziz bin Umar informed me that it is written in the book of Umar bin Abdul Aziz that it is narrated from Umar that if the tongue is severed from the root, then full blood money (diyah) is due for it, and if the wound on the tongue increases to the extent that it prevents speech, then full diyah is also due for it. For a woman’s tongue as well, full diyah is due, and if the wound on a woman’s tongue increases and prevents her from speaking, then full diyah is also due for it. If the wound is of a lesser degree, then diyah will be given according to its proportion.

Hazrat Ali (may Allah be pleased with him) said that there is blood money (diyah) for the tongue.

Ibrahim said: There is blood money for the tongue.
