Chapter on the Blood Money for the Nutfah (Sperm), Alaqah (Clinging Clot), Mudghah (Embryonic Lump), Bone, and Fetus

It was narrated by Muhammad ibn Ismaʿil from Yunus Al-Shaybani who said: I asked Abu Abdullah عليه السلام: "What if a drop of blood appears in the sperm-drop (nutfah)?" Imam عليه السلام replied: "For a single drop, it is one-tenth of the compensation for the nutfah, which is twenty-two dinars." I asked: "What if there are two drops?" Imam عليه السلام said: "Then it is twenty-four dinars." I asked: "What if there are three drops?" Imam عليه السلام said: "Then it is twenty-six dinars." I asked: "And four drops?" Imam عليه السلام said: "Then twenty-eight dinars. And for five drops, it is thirty dinars." Imam عليه السلام continued: "If it exceeds half of the sperm, then the compensation is calculated accordingly until it becomes a clot ('alaqah). When it reaches the stage of a clot, the compensation is forty dinars."
