Primary text
When a group fights, some are wounded and some killed, the blood money for the slain rests upon those who were wounded, with the required compensation for the wounds being deducted. A point of contention exists regarding whether those in the fighting group who sustained no wounds owe anything toward the blood money, with two opinions mentioned by Ibn Hamid.
