What is the compensation if the barrier separating two Muwaddihah wounds is removed by the assailant?

Primary text

If the assailant removes the barrier between two existing Muwaddihah wounds, the compensation owed is the Arsh for a single Muwaddihah. This is because, by the assailant's action, the injury effectively becomes one single Muwaddihah, similar to a single initial injury made without a barrier.
