Will a woman who caused permanent disfigurement to her maid after beating her remain sinful, despite her extreme remorse and repeated attempts to tend to her wounds and offer her substantial financial compensation, and will God forgive her?
Source: FtawySummary from Ftawy's records · added here Sep 2, 2026
The wife erred in striking the maid on her face, which necessitates retribution (qisas) because it is an intentional injury. If retribution is not possible, then the wife is obligated to pay the blood money (diyah) for the eyesight. The maid has the right to pardon the retribution or to reconcile for the blood money.
