Chapter on the Blood Money for the Nutfah (Sperm), Alaqah (Clinging Clot), Mudghah (Embryonic Lump), Bone, and Fetus
وَ سَأَلَ سَمَاعَةُ أَبَا عَبْدِ اَللَّهِ عَلَيْهِ اَلسَّلاَمُ: عَنْ رَجُلٍ ضَرَبَ اِبْنَتَهُ وَ هِيَ حُبْلَى فَأَسْقَطَتْ سِقْطاً مَيِّتاً فَاسْتَعْدَى زَوْجُ اَلْمَرْأَةِ عَلَيْهِ فَقَالَتِ اَلْمَرْأَةُ لِزَوْجِهَا إِنْ كَانَ لِهَذَا اَلسِّقْطِ دِيَةٌ وَ لِي مِنْهُ مِيرَاثٌ فَإِنَّ مِيرَاثِي مِنْهُ لِأَبِي قَالَ "يَجُوزُ لِأَبِيهَا مَا وَهَبَتْ لَهُ".
Samaah asked Abu Abdullah عليه السلام about a man who struck his pregnant daughter, causing her to miscarry a stillborn child. The woman's husband sought legal action against her father. The woman said to her husband, "If this fetus has a diyyah (blood money), and I am entitled to an inheritance from it, then I give my share of the inheritance to my father." Imam عليه السلام responded: "It is permissible for her father to receive what she has gifted to him."
