Chapter on the Blood Money for Wounds and Head Injuries

Ibn Mahbub narrated from Al-Hasan ibn Hayy, who narrated from Abu Abdullah Imam Jafar ibn Muhammad Al-Sadiq عليه السلام, who said: I asked Imam عليه السلام about the muḍihah (a wound that exposes the bone) on the head - whether it is the same as on the face. Imam عليه السلام said: "The muḍihah and other head wounds are the same in blood money (diyyah) whether they occur on the face or the head because the face is part of the head. However, injuries on the body are not treated the same as those on the head."
