This article is missing a discussion of the diyya in traditional Somali society. The basic unit of pastoral Somali society (above the nuclear family) is the diyya-group, the people who will help an individual to pay the wergeld or blood-money owed for manslaughter. -- llywrch (talk) 21:44, 22 December 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Mobha?

"Members of the Baha'i Faith are excluded from the provisions of the equalization legislation, as their blood is considered Mobah..." - I don't know (exactly) what "mobha" means, the word is not wikilinked or explained, and there's no Mobah article here. Could someone with suitable knowledge please fix that? Thanks. 195.194.238.104 (talk) 12:18, 8 June 2012 (UTC)[reply]

The following translation of the Quran is not proper English. I finally understood it by reading other translations but this is simply not correct.

"It is not for a believer [Muslim] to kill a believer unless (it be) by mistake. He who hath killed a believer by mistake must set free a believing slave, and pay the diya to the family of the slain unless they remit it as a charity. If he (the victim) be of a people hostile unto you, and he is a believer, then (the penance is) to set free a believing slave. And if he cometh of a folk between whom and you there is a covenant, then the diya must be paid unto his folk and (also) a believing slave must be set free. And whoso hath not the wherewithal must fast two consecutive months. A penance from Allah. Allah is Knower, Wise.

— Quran 4:92"

Two errors exist. "And if he cometh of a folk between whom and you there is a covenant" - Better would be "And if he cometh of a folk with whom there is a covenant". Second error - "Allah is Knower, Wise." - Better would be "Allah is All-knowing, Wise." — Preceding unsigned comment added by Terrydarc (talk • contribs) 17:52, 15 August 2018 (UTC)[reply]

request edit

The article makes a list of incorrect claims but to start the following is plain wrong:

For women and non-Muslims Diyah is not the same for Muslim women and Muslim men in sharia courts, with Muslim woman's life and diyah compensation sentence being half as that of a Muslim man's life.[18][19]

From Ibn Kathir's Quranic Commentary of Quran 5:45:

Imam Abu Nasr bin As-Sabbagh stated in his book, Ash-Shamil, that the scholars agree that this Ayah ﴿5:45﴾ should be implemented, and the Imams agree that the man is killed for a woman whom he kills, according to the general indications of this Ayah. A Hadith that An-Nasa'i recorded states that the Messenger of Allah had this statement written in the book that he gave `Amr bin Hazm, (The man is killed for the woman (whom he kills).) In another Hadith, the Messenger said, (Muslims are equal regarding the sanctity of their blood.) This is also the opinion of the majority of the scholars. What further supports what Ibn As-Sabbagh said is the Hadith that Imam Ahmad recorded that Anas bin Malik said, "Ar-Rabi` (his aunt) broke the tooth of a girl, and the relatives of Ar-Rabi` requested the girl's relatives to forgive (the offender), but they refused. So, they went to the Prophet who ordered them to bring about retaliation. Anas bin An-Nadr, her brother, asked, `O Allah's Messenger! Will the tooth of Ar-Rabi` be broken' The Messenger of Allah said, `O Anas! The Book of Allah prescribes retaliation.' Anas said, `No, by Him Who has sent you with the Truth, her tooth will not be broken. ' Later the relatives of the girl agreed to forgive Ar-Rabi` and forfeit their right to retaliation. The Messenger of Allah said, (There are some of Allah's servants who, if they take an oath by Allah, Allah fullfils them.) It was recorded in the Two Sahihs. http://www.qtafsir.com/index.php?option=com_content&task=view&id=773&Itemid=60

Article is self-contradictory

Most of the article says this applies even to intentional murder. But paragraph 2 says "only applies when murder is committed by mistake". (Isn't that manslaughter, anyway?) Equinox ◑ 12:08, 11 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]
