Hadith.5357 - In the narration of Abdullah ibn Muskan from Abu Abdullah Imam Jafar ibn Muhammad Al-Sadiq عليه السلام, regarding a man who beheaded a dead person
Imam عليه السلام said: "The blood money is upon him because the sanctity of the deceased is like his sanctity when he was alive."
The author of this book, may Allah سبحانه وتعالى have mercy on him, said: These two narrations are not contradictory because each pertains to a specific situation. If a man beheads a deceased person and was among those who intended to kill him during his lifetime, then the full blood money is upon him. However, if he did not intend to kill him during his lifetime, then he is liable to pay one hundred dinars, equivalent to the blood money of a fetus.
