If a dentist accidentally extracts a patient's tooth, and the adjacent teeth shift as a result, does he only pay the diyah (blood money) for the extracted tooth, or does he also pay the diyah for the teeth that shifted, due to their loss of part of their function and aesthetic appeal?
You are obligated to pay the blood money (diyya) for the tooth you mistakenly extracted. You are not obligated for anything regarding the possibility of the teeth shifting in the future, as none of the jurists have stated that one is liable for such a guarantee.
