Chapter on Retaliation (Qisas) and the Amount of Blood Money (Diyyah)
وَ سَأَلَ سُلَيْمَانُ بْنُ خَالِدٍ أَبَا عَبْدِ اَللَّهِ ع: عَنْ رَجُلٍ اِسْتَأْجَرَ ظِئْراً فَأَعْطَاهَا وَلَدَهُ فَكَانَ عِنْدَهَا فَانْطَلَقَتِ اَلظِّئْرُ فَاسْتَأْجَرَتْ أُخْرَى فَغَابَتِ اَلظِّئْرُ بِالْوَلَدِ فَلاَ يُدْرَى مَا صُنِعَ بِهِ وَ اَلظِّئْرُ لاَ تُكَافَى قَالَ "اَلدِّيَةُ كَامِلَةً".
Sulayman ibn Khalid asked Abu Abdullah عليه السلام about a man who hired a wet nurse and entrusted his child to her. While the child was with her, the wet nurse went and hired another woman to care for the child. This second wet nurse then disappeared with the child, and it became unknown what happened to the child, and the original wet nurse could not be held accountable. Imam عليه السلام said: "The full blood money (diyyah) must be paid."
