What is incumbent upon a man who committed adultery, and as a result of his adultery, a son was born who was then killed by the adulteress in his presence, and then they both repented of this act?

1 min readAlso available in العربية

What the man and woman did requires sincere repentance with its conditions; if fulfilled, Allah will accept it.

The woman who killed her child must pay the blood money (diyah):

If she killed her child after birth: the full diyah is obligatory.

If she aborted it stillborn: one-tenth of a woman's diyah is obligatory.

The woman does not inherit anything from the diyah of this deceased.
