Chapter on What is Obligatory in Cases of ifda' (causing Reproductive rupture)

The Commander of the Faithful (as) ruled in the case of a woman who was harmed through Ifdaʾ (a severe injury during intercourse that causes damage) that full blood money (diyyah) is due.

In the case of a man whose wife caused harm (Ifdaʾ) to his bondwoman with her hand, the ruling was that the bondwoman should be appraised at her full value when she was healthy and then at her value after being harmed. The wife must pay the difference between the value when she was healthy and the value after the defect. Furthermore, the wife was compelled to keep the bondwoman in her possession because she was no longer suitable for men.
