Hadith 1197

'Amro bin Shu'aib narrated on the authority of his father, on the authority of his grandfather (RAA) that the Messenger of Allah (P.B.U.H.) said, “The Diyah of the Dhimmi is half that of a Muslim.” Related by Ahmad and the four Imams. The narration of Abu Dawud, “The Diyah of the Mu'ahid (non Muslim with a covenant of protection) is half the Diyah of an free Muslim.” In the narration of An-Nasa’i, “The Diyah of a woman is the same as the Diyah of a man up to the third of the value (if the due value exceeds the third then her Diyah is half that of the man).” Ibn Khuzaimah graded it as Sahih.

وَعَنْهُ قَالَ: قَالَ رَسُولُ اَللَّهِ ‏- صلى الله عليه وسلم ‏-{ عَقْلُ أَهْلِ اَلذِّمَّةِ نِصْفُ عَقْلِ اَلْمُسْلِمِينَ } رَوَاهُ أَحْمَدُ وَالْأَرْبَعَةُ <sup>1</sup>‏ .‏ وَلَفْظُ أَبِي دَاوُدَ: { دِيَةُ اَلْمُعَاهِدِ نِصْفُ دِيَةِ اَلْحُرِّ } <sup>2</sup>‏ وَلِلنِّسَائِيِّ: { عَقْلُ اَلْمَرْأَةِ مِثْلُ عَقْلِ اَلرَّجُلِ, حَتَّى يَبْلُغَ اَلثُّلُثَ مِنْ دِيَتِهَا } وَصَحَّحَهُ اِبْنُ خُزَيْمَةَ.‏ <sup>3</sup>‏
