What is the ruling when a claimant accuses one known person and an unspecified number of unknown people of murder?
Chapter on Qasamah (Oaths regarding murder)
Al-Mughni
Book of Blood-Money (Diyyāt)
Primary text
If the claimant states that one known person and an unspecified number of individuals of unknown quantity killed the deceased, the oath (*qasamah*) is not required. This is because the precise share of the blood money owed by the known individual cannot be determined.
