13. Besides these four any other types of injury that decrease theprice of the slave are considered after the slave is better and well and one sees what the value of the slave is after his injury and whathis value whole was before he had the injury
14. Part of whatis well known of that is that Allah the Blessed and the Exalted said in His Book Whoever has something pardoned him by his brother should follow it with what is accepted and pay it with good will Sura ayat The commentary on that in our view and Allahknows best is that whoever gives his brother something of the blood money should follow it with what is accepted and pay him with goodwill
15. Malik said What is done in our community about aperson who digs a well on a road or ties up an animal or does the likeof that on a road used by muslims is that since what he has done isincluded in that which he is not permitted to do in such a place heis liable for whatever injury or other thing arises from that action

19. The slave girl isslain for the slave girl as the slave is slain for the slave
