What is the amount of blood money (Diyyah) prescribed by Sharia and consequent upon the mentioned injuries, and is it permissible to take this sum of money as compensation?
The amount of diyya (blood money) is determined by the competent court. As for waiving the arsh (compensation) for an injury in exchange for consideration, this is considered a sulh (reconciliation), and it is generally permissible for intentional and unintentional offenses against life and limbs. It is valid to pardon a wound or its compensation. However, since the effect of the injury is still present, it is advisable to consult scholars in the questioner's country for a detailed explanation of the matter.
