Yahya related to me from Malik from Yahya ibn Said that Said ibn
al-Musayyab said, "The blood-money for a woman is the same as for a
man up to one third of the blood-money. Her finger is like his finger,
her tooth is like his tooth, her injury which lays bare the bone is
like his, and her head wound which splinters the bone is like his."
Muwatta Malik Book 43, Hadith 8

Malik related to me that the generally agreed on way of doing
things amongst the community about an accident is that there is no
blood-money until the victim is better. If a man's bone, either a
hand, or a foot, or another part of his body, is broken accidentally
and it heals and becomes sound and returns to its form, there is no
blood-money for it. If the limb is impaired or there is a scar on it,
there is blood-money for it according to the extent that it is
impaired.

Yahya related to me from Malik that Ibn Shihab and also Urwa
ibn az-Zubayr said the same as Said ibn al-Musayyab said about a
woman. Her blood-money from a man is the same up to a third of the
blood-money of a man. If what she is owed exceeds a third of the
blood-money of the man, she is given up to half of the blood-money of
a man.
