What is the mandated amount of blood money for an aggravated killing under the Hanafi view?
General Chapter
Al-Mughni
Book of Blood-Money (Diyyāt)
Primary text
When the three types of sanctity violations combine (Haram, Sacred Month, killing a Mahram relation), two full Diyyas are due. Evidence supporting this includes the ruling of Uthman on a woman who was violated during Tawaf, for whom he decreed six thousand plus two thousand as aggravation for the sanctity of the Haram. Furthermore, a narration from Ibn Umar states that one who kills in the Haram, or kills a relative, or during a Sacred Month, owes one full Diyya plus one-third. Ibn Abbas also ruled that a killer in the Sacred Month and Sacred City owes twelve thousand, four thousand for the Sacred Month, and four thousand for the Sacred City, which demonstrates the possibility of combining three aggravations. Aggravation is also due in intentional killing because if aggravation is due for an unintentional act performed with an excuse, it is more incumbent in an intentional act where there is no excuse.

The Shafi'i scholars hold that aggravation is achieved solely by applying the Diyya of intentional homicide to an unintentional one, and they do not permit combining two different aggravations.
