Is blood money obligatory upon the ten brothers after one of them accidentally killed a person? And what is its amount?
The blood money (Diyah) for accidental killing is paid by the 'Aqilah of the killer, who are his male agnatic relatives ('asabah): the father, the paternal grandfather, the killer's sons, the killer's brothers (full brothers and paternal half-brothers), their sons, the paternal uncles (full uncles and paternal half-uncles), and their sons. The perpetrator participates in bearing it, but the poor person pays nothing and it falls upon the rich. Relatives by blood (dhawu al-arham) are not included in the 'Aqilah. The amount of the blood money is one hundred camels, paid in installments over three years.
