Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
He says: Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success, how is the government assessed in our time, given the absence of slavery and the lack of knowledge of a slave's value, in cases of burning wounds, gashes, and cuts, and the like?

Answer:
This involves estimates set by the Lawgiver in terms of camels. For what is not estimated, the judge and the court exert their effort (ijtihad) in this matter and determine the value.
