رَوَى اَلْحَسَنُ بْنُ مَحْبُوبٍ عَنْ هِشَامِ بْنِ سَالِمٍ عَنْ أَبِي بَصِيرٍ عَنْ أَبِي جَعْفَرٍ عَلَيْهِ اَلسَّلاَمُ قَالَ: سُئِلَ عَنِ اَلْغُلاَمِ لَمْ يُدْرِكْ وَ اِمْرَأَةٍ قَتَلاَ رَجُلاً فَقَالَ "إِنَّ خَطَأَ اَلْمَرْأَةِ وَ اَلْغُلاَمِ عَمْدٌ فَإِنْ أَحَبَّ أَوْلِيَاءُ اَلْمَقْتُولِ أَنْ يَقْتُلُوهُمَا قَتَلُوهُمَا وَ يَرُدُّونَ عَلَى أَوْلِيَاءِ اَلْغُلاَمِ خَمْسَةَ آلاَفِ دِرْهَمٍ وَ إِنْ أَحَبُّوا أَنْ يَقْتُلُوا اَلْغُلاَمَ قَتَلُوهُ وَ تَرُدُّ اَلْمَرْأَةُ عَلَى أَوْلِيَاءِ اَلْغُلاَمِ رُبُعَ اَلدِّيَةِ" قَالَ "وَ إِنْ أَحَبَّ أَوْلِيَاءُ اَلْمَقْتُولِ أَنْ يَقْتُلُوا اَلْمَرْأَةَ قَتَلُوهَا وَ يَرُدُّ اَلْغُلاَمُ عَلَى أَوْلِيَاءِ اَلْمَرْأَةِ رُبُعَ اَلدِّيَةِ" قَالَ "وَ إِنْ أَحَبَّ أَوْلِيَاءُ اَلْمَقْتُولِ أَنْ يَأْخُذُوا اَلدِّيَةَ كَانَ عَلَى اَلْغُلاَمِ نِصْفُ اَلدِّيَةِ وَ عَلَى اَلْمَرْأَةِ نِصْفُ اَلدِّيَةِ".
Al-Hasan ibn Mahbub narrated from Hisham ibn Salim from Abu Basir from Abu Jafar Imam Muhammad ibn Ali Al-Baqir عليه السلام that he was asked about a young boy who had not reached maturity and a woman who together killed a man. Imam عليه السلام said: "The mistake (khaṭaʾ) of a woman and a boy is considered intentional killing (Amd). If the heirs of the murdered person wish to kill both of them, they may do so, but they must return five thousand dirhams to the boy's heirs.If they wish to kill the boy, they may do so, and the woman must return a quarter of the blood money (diyyah) to the boy's heirs. If the heirs of the murdered person wish to kill the woman, they may do so, and the boy must return a quarter of the blood money to the woman's heirs. If the heirs of the murdered person choose to accept blood money, then half of the diyyah is upon the boy and half upon the woman."

وَ رَوَى اِبْنُ مَحْبُوبٍ عَنْ أَبِي أَيُّوبَ عَنْ ضُرَيْسٍ اَلْكُنَاسِيِّ قَالَ: سَأَلْتُ أَبَا عَبْدِ اَللَّهِ عَلَيْهِ اَلسَّلاَمُ عَنِ اِمْرَأَةٍ وَ عَبْدٍ قَتَلاَ رَجُلاً خَطَأً فَقَالَ "إِنَّ خَطَأَ اَلْمَرْأَةِ وَ اَلْعَبْدِ مِثْلُ اَلْعَمْدِ فَإِنْ أَحَبَّ أَوْلِيَاءُ اَلْمَقْتُولِ أَنْ يَقْتُلُوهُمَا قَتَلُوهُمَا" قَالَ "وَ إِنْ كَانَ قِيمَةُ اَلْعَبْدِ أَكْثَرَ مِنْ خَمْسَةِ آلاَفِ دِرْهَمٍ رَدُّوا عَلَى سَيِّدِ اَلْعَبْدِ مَا يَفْضُلُ بَعْدَ اَلْخَمْسَةِ آلاَفِ دِرْهَمٍ فَإِنْ أَحَبُّوا أَنْ يَقْتُلُوا اَلْمَرْأَةَ وَ يَأْخُذُوا اَلْعَبْدَ فَعَلُوا إِلاَّ أَنْ يَكُونَ قِيمَتُهُ أَكْثَرَ مِنْ خَمْسَةِ آلاَفِ دِرْهَمٍ فَيَرُدُّوا عَلَى مَوْلَى اَلْعَبْدِ مَا يَفْضُلُ بَعْدَ اَلْخَمْسَةِ آلاَفِ دِرْهَمٍ وَ يَأْخُذُوا اَلْعَبْدَ أَوْ يَفْتَدِيَهُ سَيِّدُهُ وَ إِنْ كَانَتْ قِيمَةُ اَلْعَبْدِ أَقَلَّ مِنْ خَمْسَةِ آلاَفِ دِرْهَمٍ فَلَيْسَ لَهُمْ إِلاَّ اَلْعَبْدُ".
Ibn Mahbub narrated from Abu Ayyub from Ḍurays Al-Kunnasi, who said: I asked Abu Abdullah عليه السلام about a woman and a slave who accidentally killed a man. Imam عليه السلام said: "The mistake (khaṭaʾ) of a woman and a slave is considered like intentional killing (Amd). If the heirs of the murdered person wish to kill both of them, they may do so." Imam عليه السلام continued: "If the value of the slave exceeds five thousand dirhams, they must return to the master of the slave the excess amount beyond five thousand dirhams. If they wish, they may execute the woman and take the slave, unless his value exceeds five thousand dirhams, in which case they must pay the master the excess amount beyond five thousand dirhams to take the slave. Alternatively, the master of the slave may ransom him. And if the value of the slave is less than five thousand dirhams, then they only have the right to take the slave."

وَ رَوَى أَبُو أُسَامَةَ عَنْ عَبْدِ اَللَّهِ بْنِ سِنَانٍ عَنْ أَبِي عَبْدِ اَللَّهِ عَلَيْهِ اَلسَّلاَمُ قَالَ: فِي اِمْرَأَةٍ قَتَلَتْ رَجُلاً مُتَعَمِّدَةً فَقَالَ "إِنْ شَاءَ أَهْلُهُ أَنْ يَقْتُلُوهَا قَتَلُوهَا وَ لَيْسَ يَجْنِي أَحَدٌ جِنَايَةً عَلَى أَكْثَرَ مِنْ نَفْسِهِ ".
Abu Usamah narrated from Abdullah ibn Sinan from Abu Abdullah عليه السلام regarding a woman who intentionally killed a man. Imam عليه السلام said: "If the family of the murdered person wishes to kill her, they may do so. No one bears the burden of a crime beyond their own soul."

وَ رَوَى اَلسَّكُونِيُّ عَنْ أَبِي عَبْدِ اَللَّهِ عَلَيْهِ اَلسَّلاَمُ: فِي رَجُلٍ وَ غُلاَمٍ اِجْتَمَعَا فِي قَتْلِ رَجُلٍ فَقَتَلاَهُ فَقَالَ قَالَ أَمِيرُ اَلْمُؤْمِنِينَ عَلَيْهِ اَلسَّلاَمُ "إِذَا بَلَغَ اَلْغُلاَمُ خَمْسَةَ أَشْبَارٍ اُقْتُصَّ مِنْهُ وَ اُقْتُصَّ لَهُ وَ إِنْ لَمْ يَكُنْ بَلَغَ اَلْغُلاَمُ خَمْسَةَ أَشْبَارٍ فَقُضِيَ بِالدِّيَةِ".
Al-Sakuni narrated from Abu Abdullah عليه السلام regarding a man and a boy who together killed a man. Imam عليه السلام said: The Commander of the Faithful عليه السلام stated: "If the boy has reached five hand spans in height, then retribution (qiṣaṣ) is carried out against him and for him. However, if the boy has not yet reached five hand spans, the ruling is the payment of blood money (diyyah)."
