What is the compensation for severing an ear or nostril from one who has already lost one?

Chapter on Diyat (Blood Money) for Wounds

Book of Blood-Money (Diyyāt)

Book 48 · Issue 2 · Bab 2

Open in Qurani

Primary text

If the ear of one who has lost an ear is severed, or the nostril of one who has lost a nostril is severed, no more than half the Diyah is incumbent. This is the sole narration, based on the premise that the function of one ear or nostril does not depend on the other, unlike the pair of eyes.
