Is there a ruling on Qisas for the severed limb if the amputation occurred during a period when the injury would not typically lead to death (sarayah)?

Primary text

If the state of apostasy during the initial injury was such that the injury would not ordinarily lead to death (non-sarayah), then either blood money (Diyyah) or retaliation (Qisas) is due for the subsequent murder.

Supporting text

Al-Shafi'i, in one of his two established opinions, holds that no Qisas is due because the victim ultimately reached a state where, had he died from the initial injury, Qisas would not have been required.
