Primary text
It is permissible to accept full compensation (*al-kamilah*) for a partial injury (*al-naqisah*) because the full amount is not more than what is due to the injured party. This ruling is supported by the statement regarding the permissibility of taking the full measure when only a lesser measure is owed.
