The answer

Scholars have agreed that the blood money (Diyya) for a free Muslim male is one hundred camels, or their equivalent in other forms such as gold, silver, cattle, sheep, and garments. They differed on which forms are considered the primary basis for the blood money. The amount of blood money does not change whether the offense was intentional or accidental, but it may be increased in cases of intentional killing. The blood money for a woman is half that of a man, by consensus of the jurists. The blood money is estimated in local currency based on the value of camels or their equivalent in the agreed-upon forms.
