Open in Qurani

Primary text

The liability incurred must be fulfilled by providing its equivalent in meat, because the original item (the live game) is guaranteed by its equivalent among livestock. Therefore, its parts (the consumed meat) are likewise guaranteed by their equivalent. This is contrasted with the destruction of human life or body parts, which are guaranteed by their monetary value.
