The Study payment of breathtaking Diye from Beytolmal in the Islamic Jurisprudence
The concept of Diye (blood money) is one of the significant topics in Islamic jurisprudence. Islamic jurists generally permit the payment of Diye from the Beytolmal( public treasury) in cases of homicide. Some jurists have extended this permission to include non-lethal injuries and bodily harm as well. This study addresses the fundamental question: what are the arguments of those who support the payment of Diye for injuries from Beytolmal, and what are the counterarguments of the opposing jurists? The importance of this discussion lies in the role of Beytolmal in compensating victims who have been harmed due to the negligence of Islamic state agents, or conversely, in supporting state officials who are injured while safeguarding the system.The primary objective of this research is to examine the views of both proponents and opponents regarding the payment of Diye for injuries from Beytolmal. The research employs a descriptive-analytical method and relies on library-based data collection, using note-taking tools from authoritative jurisprudential and legal sources. The findings of the study indicate that jurists have differing interpretations of the term “blood” (dam), that analogical reasoning (Qiyas) cannot be extended to justify payment of Diye for injuries, that due to the principle of individual liability, Beytolmal holds no responsibility for such payments, and that there is no explicit textual evidence mandating the payment of Diye for injuries from Beytolmal.
