Sunan Ibn Majah 2648 (Book 21, Hadith 34) #32002
Blood Money & Legacy in Islam

SUMMARY: The Prophet Muhammad ruled that the blood money should be paid by the near male relations from the father's side of the killer, and that a slain woman's legacy should go to her husband and children.

It was narrated that Jabir said: "The Messenger of Allah ruled that the blood money should be paid by the near male relations from the father's side of the killer, and the such relatives of slain woman said: 'O Messenger of Allah ,her legacy is for us'. He said: 'No, her legacy is for her husband and children'."
حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ يَحْيَى، حَدَّثَنَا الْمُعَلَّى بْنُ أَسَدٍ، حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ الْوَاحِدِ بْنُ زِيَادٍ، حَدَّثَنَا مُجَالِدٌ، عَنِ الشَّعْبِيِّ، عَنْ جَابِرٍ، قَالَ جَعَلَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ الدِّيَةَ عَلَى عَاقِلَةِ الْقَاتِلَةِ فَقَالَتْ عَاقِلَةُ الْمَقْتُولَةِ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ مِيرَاثُهَا لَنَا ‏.‏ قَالَ ‏ "‏ لاَ مِيرَاثُهَا لِزَوْجِهَا وَوَلَدِهَا

QUICK LESSONS:
Take responsibility for your actions; Provide justice; Take care of those closest to you after they pass away; Pay diya if someone has been wronged in any way possible .

EXPLANATIONS:
In Islam, when someone is killed, their family is entitled to receive compensation for their loss. This compensation is known as diya or blood money. According to this hadith narrated by Jabir, it was ruled by Prophet Muhammad that this diya should be paid by the near male relations from the father's side of the killer. Additionally, if a woman was killed, her legacy would go to her husband and children instead of her relatives. This ruling ensures that those closest to her are taken care of after she passes away. These teachings demonstrate how important it is for Muslims to take responsibility for their actions and provide justice for those who have been wronged in any way possible.
