Ph.D in Jurisprudence and Judicial Law (majooya@gmail.com)
Abstract
The Holy Quran is the primary source of deducing the rules. For the same reason, it has special importance. There are only two verses on the Holy Quran about the blood money; one of them relates to the blood money for intentional murder and the other relates to the blood money for murder by error. These two verses have not been considered widely by the jurists, and the first verse, due to its general ambiguity, is absent from the jurisprudential discussions. The second verse also is regarded as an exceptional rule and it is somehow logically unanalyzable.
After reviewing the two previously mentioned verses, the present text concludes that not only they are understandable, but also they can be used as the bases and references for the interpretation of the blood money verses.
