Primary text

If the injury inflicted by one perpetrator healed while the victim died from the injuries caused by the other two, the guardian has the option to exact retribution (*Qisas*) upon the one whose injury healed, by inflicting a similar wound, and kill the other two. Alternatively, the guardian may take the full *Diyya* from the other two. A third option is to kill one of the latter two and take half the *Diyya* from the remaining one. Furthermore, the guardian may pardon the one whose injury healed and take the stipulated *Diyya* for that specific injury from him, while proceeding against the others.
