29821 - Al-Hakam said: He is liable.

Hazrat Tariq narrates that it is reported from Hazrat Sha'bi that a goat entered the premises of a cloth weaver and spoiled the yarn he had spun, so Imam Sha'bi did not hold the owner of the goat liable because it was daytime.

It is narrated from Hazrat Saeed and Hazrat Haram that the she-camel of Hazrat Bara bin Azib entered the garden of a certain people and destroyed their garden. Regarding this, the Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings be upon him, gave this ruling: It is necessary for the owner to protect his property during the day, and the owner of the cattle will be liable if his cattle cause any damage at night.

Hazrat Ismail bin Abu Khalid narrates that it is reported from Hazrat Sha’bi that a goat ate someone’s flour during the day, and another narrator said: it ate someone’s spun cloth. So Hazrat Shurayh declared this invalid and recited this verse: Translation: When the goats enter it belonging to the people. And in Hazrat Ismail’s narration, it is stated: Surely, the goats’ entering will be at night.

Hazrat Amir narrates that a man came to Hazrat Shurayh and said, "This man's goat has torn my woven cloth." He asked him, "Was it during the day or at night?" If it was during the day, the person will be free of liability, and if it was at night, then indeed that person will be responsible. And he recited this verse: Translation: "When the goats enter into the fields of the people," and said, "Surely, if the goats enter at night, then there is liability."

Hazrat Marrah bin Shurahbeel narrates that Hazrat Masrooq recited the verse of the Holy Qur'an {إِذْ نَفَشَتْ فِیہِ غَنَمُ الْقَوْمِ } Translation: When the goats of the people entered that garden at night and they did not leave any greenery in it.

Hazrat Muhammad bin Ali (may Allah be pleased with him) narrates that Hazrat Usman said: Whoever sits with a blind person, and then that blind person causes him any harm, then that harm will be void and disregarded.

Hazrat Zaid bin Wahb narrates that when Hazrat Ali (may Allah be pleased with him) would stone a woman, he would say to her guardians: This is your child, you will be his heirs and he will be your heir, and if he commits any punishable mistake, its liability will be upon you.

Hazrat Mughira narrates that Ibrahim said: When a man performs li'an with his wife, separation will be established between them and they will never be able to unite again. The child will be affiliated with the mother's 'asaba (male relatives), they will be the heirs of the child and will pay the blood money on his behalf.

Hazrat Hammad states that Ibrahim said: All of the inheritance of the child will go to his mother, and the blood money on his behalf will be paid by the mother’s paternal relatives. This same ruling applies to a child born out of wedlock and to the child of a Christian woman if his mother is Muslim.
