Chapter on the Liability of a Wet Nurse if She Rolls Over a Child, Causing Death, or Hands the Child Over to Another Wet Nurse Who Then Disappears with the Child
وَ رَوَى هِشَامُ بْنُ سَالِمٍ عَنْ سُلَيْمَانَ بْنِ خَالِدٍ عَنْ أَبِي عَبْدِ اللَّهِ ع قَالَ: سَأَلْتُهُ عَنْ رَجُلٍ اسْتَأْجَرَ ظِئْراً فَأَعْطَاهُ وَلَدَهُ فَكَانَ عِنْدَهَا فَانْطَلَقَتِ الظِّئْرُ فَاسْتَأْجَرَتْ ظِئْراً أُخْرَى فَغَابَتِ الظِّئْرُ بِالْوَلَدِ فَلَا يُدْرَى مَا صُنِعَ بِهِ وَ الظِّئْرُ لَا تُكَافَى قَالَ الدِّيَةُ كَامِلَةً.
Hisham ibn Salim narrated from Sulayman ibn Khalid, who narrated from Abu Abdullah عليه السلام, who said: I asked Imam عليه السلام about a man who hired a wet nurse and gave her his child. While the child was with her, the wet nurse went and hired another wet nurse. The second wet nurse disappeared with the child, and it was unknown what happened to the child, and the original wet nurse could not be held accountable. Imam عليه السلام said: "The full blood money (diyyah) is due."
