Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
He says: Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success, what is the difference in what is obligatory upon the perpetrator in the case of quasi-intentional killing, or unintentional killing?
Answer:
The difference is that the blood money is made heavier in quasi-intentional killing, as you mentioned. You forgot that it is made into quarters of the teeth, four categories of camel teeth. This is a heavy penalty. As for unintentional killing, it is made into fifths; the blood money is made into five categories to lighten the burden. So there is no difference except for the heaviness of the blood money. Yes.
