Chapter on Injuries and Killing Between Women and Men
وَ رَوَى مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ سَهْلِ بْنِ اَلْيَسَعِ عَنْ أَبِيهِ عَنِ اَلْحُسَيْنِ بْنِ مِهْرَانَ عَنْ أَبِي عَبْدِ اَللَّهِ عَلَيْهِ اَلسَّلاَمُ قَالَ: سَأَلْتُهُ عَنِ اِمْرَأَةٍ دَخَلَ عَلَيْهَا لِصُّ وَ هِيَ حُبْلَى فَوَقَعَ عَلَيْهَا فَقَتَلَ مَا فِي بَطْنِهَا فَوَثَبَتِ اَلْمَرْأَةُ عَلَى اَللِّصِّ فَقَتَلَتْهُ فَقَالَ "أَمَّا اَلْمَرْأَةُ اَلَّتِي قَتَلَتْ فَلَيْسَ عَلَيْهَا شَيْءٌ وَ دِيَةُ سَخْلَتِهَا عَلَى عَصَبَةِ اَلْمَقْتُولِ اَلسَّارِقِ".
Muhammad ibn Sahl ibn Al-Yasaʿ narrated from his father, from Al-Husayn ibn Mihran, from Abu Abdullah عليه السلام who said: I asked Iman عليه السلام about a pregnant woman upon whom a thief broke in and assaulted her, causing the death of the child in her womb. The woman then attacked the thief and killed him. Imam عليه السلام replied: "As for the woman who killed him, there is nothing upon her. The diyyah (blood money) for her unborn child is upon the male relatives (Aṣaba) of the slain thief."
