To what extent are the financial compensations awarded by a court following a traffic accident, which include material and moral damages, legitimate? Is there a maximum limit for these compensations as a percentage of the Diyya (blood money)? Is it permissible to accept initial amounts not allocated for a specific damage? Does the fact that the injured person is a woman affect the value of the compensation?

The questioner is permitted to take the compensation awarded by the civil court, and she should give in charity any amount exceeding her due right if she is predominantly certain of that.
