Sunan Ibn Majah 2642 (Book 21, Hadith 28) #31996
Inheritance from Blood Money

SUMMARY: The hadith discusses the ruling of inheritance from blood money, where the wife is entitled to a portion of her husband's blood money.

It was narrated from Sa'eed bin Musayyab that 'Umar used to say: "The blood money is for the near male relatives from the father's side and the wife does not inherit anything from the blood money of her husband," until Ad-Dahhak bin Sufyan wrote to him, and told him that the Prophet ruled that the wife of Ashyam bin Dibabi should inherit from the blood money of her husband.
حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو بَكْرِ بْنُ أَبِي شَيْبَةَ، حَدَّثَنَا سُفْيَانُ بْنُ عُيَيْنَةَ، عَنِ الزُّهْرِيِّ، عَنْ سَعِيدِ بْنِ الْمُسَيَّبِ، أَنَّ عُمَرَ، كَانَ يَقُولُ الدِّيَةُ لِلْعَاقِلَةِ وَلاَ تَرِثُ الْمَرْأَةُ مِنْ دِيَةِ زَوْجِهَا شَيْئًا حَتَّى كَتَبَ إِلَيْهِ الضَّحَّاكُ بْنُ سُفْيَانَ أَنَّ النَّبِيَّ وَرَّثَ امْرَأَةَ أَشْيَمَ الضِّبَابِيِّ مِنْ دِيَةِ زَوْجِهَا

EXPLANATIONS:
This hadith discusses the ruling of inheritance from blood money, which is a form of compensation paid by an offender to the family or relatives of a victim in cases such as murder or injury. According to this hadith, it was narrated that 'Umar used to say that only near male relatives from the father's side are entitled to receive this compensation. However, Ad-Dahhak bin Sufyan wrote to him and informed him that according to Prophet Muhammad's ruling, even wives are entitled to inherit their husband's blood money. This shows us that justice should be given equally regardless of gender and marital status when it comes to matters such as inheritance and compensation for victims.
