Chapter on Rare Cases of Blood Money (Diyyat)

وَ فِي رِوَايَةِ اِبْنِ فَضَّالٍ عَنْ بَعْضِ أَصْحَابِهِ عَنْ أَبِي عَبْدِ اَللَّهِ عَلَيْهِ اَلسَّلاَمُ قَالَ: "دِيَةُ كَلْبِ اَلصَّيْدِ أَرْبَعُونَ دِرْهَماً وَ دِيَةُ كَلْبِ اَلْمَاشِيَةِ عِشْرُونَ دِرْهَماً وَ دِيَةُ اَلْكَلْبِ اَلَّذِي لَيْسَ لِلصَّيْدِ وَ لاَ لِلْمَاشِيَةِ زَبِيلٌ مِنْ تُرَابٍ عَلَى اَلْقَاتِلِ أَنْ يُعْطِيَ وَ عَلَى صَاحِبِهِ أَنْ يَقْبَلَ".
In the narration of Ibn Faddal from some of his companions from Abu Abdullah عليه السلام, that Imam عليه السلام said: "The diyah (compensatory blood money) for a (killing) hunting dog is forty dirhams, the diyah for a livestock dog is twenty dirhams, and the diyah for a dog that is neither for hunting nor for livestock is a basket of dirt - the killer must give it, and the owner must accept it."
