Primary text
The ruling that the 'Aqilah bears the blood money applies also to 'Amd al-Khata' (semi-intentional killing), as indicated by the aforementioned Hadiths concerning the 'Aqilah bearing Diyya for accidental killing. This serves as an implication that the 'Aqilah carries the liability for this category of wrongful death.
