Is blood money (Diyya) obligatory for the parents in the event of their daughter's death after she fell from the table while preparing food, and what is its value if it is obligatory?

1 min readAlso available in العربية

We ask God to grant you solace concerning your daughter and to make her a fore-runner and a treasure for you, taking you both by the hand to Paradise. We offer you condolences with what the Prophet, peace and blessings be upon him, consoled his daughter: "Indeed, to Allah belongs what He takes, and to Him belongs what He gives, and everything with Him has an appointed term. So, let her be patient and anticipate the reward." As for the blood money (diyya), whoever gives a ruling on it must be knowledgeable of the true cause of the girl's fall and the surrounding circumstances, and whether there was any negligence involved or not.
