What is the ruling when an one-eyed person removes the eye of a sound-eyed person, and the removed eye matches the existing eye of the assailant?

Chapter on Diyat (Blood Money) for Wounds

Al-Mughni

Book of Blood-Money (Diyyāt)

Book 48 · Issue 4 · Bab 2

Open in Qurani

Primary text

If the one-eyed person intentionally removes the eye that matches his own sound eye, no retaliation (qisas) is due, and a full blood-money payment is required. This aligns with the view of Saeed bin Al-Musayyib, Atāʼ, and one narration from Mālik.

Supporting text

Another narration from Mālik states that only half the blood-money is due, and no qisas is applicable.
