Question:
And when the Shaykh said to him: Does the one who is of legal age have to pay the blood money if he sent a small child to kill a person?

If he ordered a child to kill a person, or shot at him, or drowned him by throwing water at him, then it is obligatory for him to pay the blood money if it is established that he did so intentionally, whether by his confession or by the testimony of witnesses. It is obligatory for him to pay the blood money because this is an act that is suitable for killing, and it involves intent and purpose. Yes.
