Ensure justice is served even if it is an unborn child who has been wronged .

This hadith discusses the ruling of Prophet Muhammad ﷺ concerning blood money for fetuses. It was narrated from 'Umar bin Khattab that he asked the people about this ruling, and Hamal bin Malik bin Nabighah stood up and said that he was between his two wives when one of them struck the other with a tent-pole, killing her and her fetus. The Messenger of Allah ﷺ ruled that the blood money for this fetus should be a slave, and that she would be killed in retaliation. This hadith teaches us about justice; it is important to ensure justice is served even if it is an unborn child who has been wronged. It also teaches us about mercy; although there must be punishment, it does not have to be as severe as death or imprisonment but can instead take form in compensation such as slaves or monetary payment.
