The list of hadiths on Blood Money

Authentic hadith ‘Umar ibn al-Khattāb (may Allah be pleased with him) consulted the people about a woman who was caused to miscarry. Authentic hadith Two women from the Hudhayl tribe fought each other. One of them threw a stone at the other, killing her along with what was in her womb. Authentic hadith One of you bites his brother like a male camel does! There is no blood money for you. Authentic hadith Whoever is killed in ambiguous circumstances, or when people are throwing stones, or by a whip, his blood money is the blood money of unpremeditated killing. Whoever is killed intentionally, retaliation becomes due. If anyone tries to prevent it, upon him is the curse of Allah, the angels, and all people Good hadith Whoever intentionally kills a believer shall be handed to the guardians of the killed person: if they will, they may kill him, and if they will, they may accept the blood money. [The blood money] is thirty 'Hiqqah', thirty 'Jadha‘ah', and forty 'Khalifah'. And whatever they agree upon shall be given to them Authentic hadith Beware! Every object of pride of the pre-Islamic times, whether it is blood-vengeance or property, or mentioned or claimed, has been put under my feet, except the supply of water to pilgrims and the custody of the House Authentic hadith This and that are equal; meaning the pinky finger and the thumb Good hadith The blood money of a Mu‘āhad is half the blood money of a free Muslim Good hadith The blood money of the semi-intentional killing is as aggravated as that of intentional killing, but the perpetrator is not to be killed. This happens when the devil stirs enmity between people, causing them to shed blood but not due to grudge or carrying weapons in fighting
