According to our companions, the established value for every camel is one hundred and twenty Dirhams or ten Dinars.

There is no practical difference in specifying the age classes of the camels. If the values of Dinars and Dirhams differ (e.g., ten Dinars equal one hundred Dirhams), then by analogy, if the offender pays an amount valued at ten Dinars, the injured party is obligated to accept it, because if the offender had presented the payment in Dinars, acceptance would have been mandatory, thus acceptance is mandatory for the equivalent value.
