What is the prescribed compensation for loss of teeth?
Chapter on Diyat (Blood Money) for Wounds
Al-Mughni
Book of Blood-Money (Diyyāt)
Primary text
The prescribed compensation for loss of teeth exceeds the standard Diyyah, as five camels' worth of compensation is due for every tooth. This ruling is confirmed by the narration from the Prophet (peace be upon him) mandating five for each tooth, and this specific textual evidence must be followed despite potential divergence from general analogy regarding bodily injuries.

A dissenting view argues that the compensation for teeth should not exceed the standard Diyyah, applying analogy from the rest of the body.
