21/7. Chapter:
The Blood Money Must Be Paid By The 'Aqilah; If there Is No 'Aqilah, Then It Must Be Paid From the Treasury
Sunan Ibn Majah
حَدَّثَنَا عَلِيُّ بْنُ مُحَمَّدٍ، حَدَّثَنَا وَكِيعٌ، حَدَّثَنَا أَبِي، عَنْ مَنْصُورٍ، عَنْ إِبْرَاهِيمَ، عَنْ عُبَيْدِ بْنِ نَضْلَةَ، عَنِ الْمُغِيرَةِ بْنِ شُعْبَةَ، قَالَ قَضَى رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صلى الله عليه وسلم بِالدِّيَةِ عَلَى الْعَاقِلَةِ .
It was narrated that Mughirah bin Shu'bah said: “The Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) ruled that the blood money must be paid by the 'Aqilah.”
