In the terminology of the jurists, "al-ghurrah" refers to a young, discerning, and faultless slave girl or boy. It is incumbent upon the perpetrator, if they cause a miscarriage, to pay it to the heirs. If a "ghurrah" is not available, the blood money for the fetus is one-tenth of the blood money for a woman. The blood money for the fetus is estimated to be approximately 213 grams of gold, and it is distributed among its heirs, excluding the one who caused the miscarriage.
