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

وَ رَوَى اَلْحُسَيْنُ بْنُ سَعِيدٍ عَنْ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ اَلْفُضَيْلِ قَالَ: سَأَلْتُ أَبَا اَلْحَسَنِ عَلَيْهِ اَلسَّلاَمُ عَنْ لِصٍّ دَخَلَ عَلَى اِمْرَأَةٍ حُبْلَى فَوَقَعَ عَلَيْهَا فَأَلْقَتْ مَا فِي بَطْنِهَا فَوَثَبَتْ عَلَيْهِ اَلْمَرْأَةُ فَقَتَلَتْهُ قَالَ "يُطَلُّ دَمُ اَللِّصِّ وَ عَلَى اَلْمَقْتُولِ دِيَةُ سَخْلَتِهَا".
Al-Husayn ibn Saʿid narrated from Muhammad ibn Al-Fuḍayl who said: I asked Abu Al-Hasan عليه السلام about a thief who entered upon a pregnant woman, assaulted her, and caused her to miscarry. The woman then attacked the thief and killed him. Imam عليه السلام replied: "The blood of the thief is not avenged (yutallu), but the diyyah (blood money) for her miscarried fetus is due upon her."
