It is narrated from Sayyiduna Abdullah bin Amr bin al-As (may Allah be pleased with them both) that the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said: Whoever commits intentional murder, he shall be handed over to the heirs of the slain; if they wish, they may kill him, or if they wish, they may accept blood money. The details of this are: thirty Hiqqahs, thirty Jadh’ahs, and forty pregnant she-camels; this is the blood money for intentional murder. Also, whatever they agree upon in reconciliation will belong to them; this is the heaviest blood money.
