Sayyiduna Umar bin Khattab (may Allah be pleased with him) says: The rightful recipients of blood money (diyah) are the 'aqilah (paternal relatives). The wife will not inherit from her husband's blood money, until Dahhak Kalabi (may Allah be pleased with him) informed him: The Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) had written to me that I should make Ashyam Dhibabi's wife an heir from her husband's blood money.
