1 hadith
فِي رِوَايَةِ جَعْفَرِ بْنِ بَشِيرٍ عَنْ بَعْضِ رِجَالِهِ قَالَ: سَأَلْتُ أَبَا عَبْدِ اَللَّهِ عَلَيْهِ اَلسَّلاَمُ عَنْ دِيَةِ وَلَدِ اَلزِّنَا قَالَ "ثَمَانُمِائَةِ دِرْهَمٍ مِثْلُ دِيَةِ اَلْيَهُودِيِّ وَ اَلنَّصْرَانِيِّ وَ اَلْمَجُوسِيِّ ".
In a narration from Ja'far ibn Bashir through some of his transmitters, it is reported that someone asked Abu Abdullah Imam Jafar ibn Muhammad Al-Sadiq عليه السلام about the blood money (diya) of a child born from adultery. Imam عليه السلام replied: "Eight hundred dirhams, similar to the diyyah of a Jew, a Christian, and a Magian."
