Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
If we consider the capacity of a minor and a person of unsound mind, then it is upon their guardians to pay it.
Answer:
The payment of blood money is upon their guardians. It is to be paid from the property of the minor and the person of unsound mind if they have property; the blood money is then paid from their property. If they have no property, it is exempted, and there is no sin upon their guardians, because this was an act of intentional aggression, but the retribution was exempted from him due to the absence of legal accountability.
