What is the compensation for an eye that remains intact in form but has lost its sight (*al-'ayn al-qā'imah*)?

Primary text

The compensation for an eye whose form remains but its sight is lost is subject to scholarly division. The established position, supported by reports concerning the Prophet (peace be upon him) and the ruling of Umar ibn al-Khattab, stipulates that the compensation is one-third of its *diyah*. This is based on the principle that the eye retains its full external form, thus warranting a fixed compensation similar to a sound eye, counteracting the claim that a fixed amount cannot be assigned.
