I am faced with an unreasonable matter. Should a blind man also pay blood money to the one who can see? Even though both of them fell together and both of their bones were broken? Hazrat Waki’ says that people held the opinion that a sighted man was taking a blind man along, and both of them fell into a well, and the blind man fell upon him—either he killed him or injured him—so the blind man was held liable.

29708 - [*] Waki‘ said: They used to believe that a healthy man was leading a blind man, and they both fell into a well, and he fell upon him, so either (he killed him) (1), or he wounded him, so the blind man was held liable.

He wrote a letter to Hazrat Abu Musa to ask Hazrat Ali (may Allah be pleased with him) about this matter. Then Hazrat Abu Musa inquired from Hazrat Ali (may Allah be pleased with him). He said: Indeed, this matter has not occurred in our land. I adjure you to surely inform me about it. So Hazrat Abu Musa informed him about the matter. Then Hazrat Ali (may Allah be pleased with him) said: If he does not bring four witnesses, then you should hand him over completely.
