Types of Blood-Wit (Kitab Al-Diyat)
" لاَ مِيرَاثُهَا لِزَوْجِهَا وَوَلَدِهَا "
One of the two women of Hudhayl killed the other, Each of them had husband and sons. The Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) fixed the blood-wit for the slain woman to be paid by the woman's relatives on the father's side. He declared her husband and the child innocent. The relatives of the woman who killed said: We shall inherit from her. The Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) said: No, her sons and her husband should inherit from her.
