Chapter on What is Obligatory Upon One Who Severes the Head of a Deceased Person
وَ فِي رِوَايَةِ عَبْدِ اَللَّهِ بْنِ مُسْكَانَ عَنْ أَبِي عَبْدِ اَللَّهِ عَلَيْهِ اَلسَّلاَمُ: فِي رَجُلٍ قَطَعَ رَأْسَ اَلْمَيِّتِ قَالَ "عَلَيْهِ اَلدِّيَةُ لِأَنَّ حُرْمَتَهُ مَيِّتاً كَحُرْمَتِهِ وَ هُوَ حَيٌّ".
In the narration of Abdullah ibn Muskan from Abu Abdullah Imam Jafar ibn Muhammad Al-Sadiq عليه السلام, regarding a man who beheaded a dead person Imam عليه السلام said: "The blood money is upon him because the sanctity of the deceased is like his sanctity when he was alive."
