What is the ruling regarding the blood money (diyah) for the injuries inflicted by non-Muslims?

Primary text

The injuries inflicted by non-Muslims are subject to their respective blood money amounts, just as the injuries of Muslims are subject to the blood money of Muslims. The blood money for non-Muslims is increased in severity when combining dignities (like killing in a sacred area) for those who view the blood money of Muslims as being aggravated in such circumstances. Imam Ahmad stated that killing a non-Muslim in the Sacred Precinct results in an increased fine, similar to killing a Muslim there. Similarly, if a non-Muslim causes injury, the compensation is calculated based on the proportion of their blood money, as is done for a Muslim. For instance, if a hand is severed, half of the prescribed blood money is due. This approach aligns with the ruling established by Uthman ibn Affan, who, upon a man killing a person of the dhimma covenant without enacting retaliation (qawad), imposed a fine of one thousand dinars, which Imam Ahmad followed based on parallel rulings where retaliation was averted, such as imposing full blood money for blinding a sound eye or double the value for stealing dates.
