Primary text

If the required *Diyya* is that of a thumbnail and it is ruled that payment must be made from three types of camels, the amount due is one and one-third camels from the *khalfat* type, one *huqqah*, and one *jidh'ah*. If the ruling is for payment in quarters (*arba'an*), the payment is three and one-third units whose value equals half the value of four plus one-third.

Supporting text

If the injury was accidental, the required *Diyya* is valued at two-thirds the value of the five-portion *Diyya*.
