Chapter on Retaliation (Qisas) and the Amount of Blood Money (Diyyah)
وَ رَوَى اِبْنُ مَحْبُوبٍ عَنْ عَلِيِّ بْنِ رِئَابٍ عَنْ زُرَارَةَ قَالَ: سَأَلْتُ أَبَا جَعْفَرٍ عَلَيْهِ اَلسَّلاَمُ عَنْ رَجُلٍ قَتَلَ رَجُلاً خَطَأً فِي أَشْهُرِ اَلْحُرُمِ قَالَ "عَلَيْهِ اَلدِّيَةُ وَ صَوْمُ شَهْرَيْنِ مُتَتَابِعَيْنِ مِنْ أَشْهُرِ اَلْحُرُمِ" قُلْتُ إِنَّ هَذَا يَدْخُلُ فِيهِ اَلْعِيدُ وَ أَيَّامُ اَلتَّشْرِيقِ فَقَالَ "يَصُومُهُ فَإِنَّهُ حَقٌّ لَزِمَهُ".
Ibn Mahbub narrated from Ali ibn Ri'ab from Zurarah, who said: I asked Abu Jafar Imam Muhammad ibn Ali Al-Baqir عليه السلام about a man who accidentally killed another man during the sacred months (Ashhur Al-Hurum). Imam عليه السلام said: "He must pay the blood money (diyyah) and fast for two consecutive months from the sacred months." I said: "But this period includes Eid and the days of Tashriq (the days following Eid Al-Adha)." Imam عليه السلام replied: "He must still fast them, for it is an obligation that has become binding upon him."
