Is the *Aqilah* responsible for the *Diyah* if both the mother and the fetus die due to a single incident?

Book of Blood-Money (Diyyāt)
Primary text
If the mother and the fetus die simultaneously from a single injury, the *Aqilah* bears the liability for both. This is because the obligation for both compensations occurred at one time due to one transgression, and their combined value exceeds the threshold of one-third, thus making the *Aqilah* responsible as if it were a single *Diyah*.
