How to read the estimate

A measure, a valuation, and a ruling

Fixed shares, not personal body value

Classical schedules express compensation as a share of full diya, commonly measured as 100 camels.

Cash requires a chosen valuation

There is no universal cash price for 100 camels. The entered full-diya value supplies the cash basis; Frankfurter provides currency reference rates.

Circumstances can affect the ruling

Intent, prior impairment, and the circumstances of an injury can affect its assessment. A numerical share does not decide the legal outcome.

Scope and limits

Use this as a reference, not a verdict

Diya rules can depend on intent, causation, the victim’s prior condition, proof, injury severity, and the law applied by a competent authority. Local statutes may differ from classical manuals. This tool does not decide liability, qisas, settlement, or a court award.

Sources

Qur’an 5:45 — equal retribution for wounds
Mentions an eye for an eye and legal retribution for wounds; the calculator does not decide qisas eligibility.
Sunan Abi Dawud 4564 — blood-wit for injuries
Reports the schedule for the nose, hand, foot, head wounds, fingers and teeth.
Classical organ schedule — Bulugh al-Maram, Crimes and Diya
A compiled report lists full compensation for specified unique organs and paired organs, and fixed amounts for fingers, teeth and wounds. Hadith reports have different gradings; jurists also rely on other evidence and legal reasoning.
Muwatta Malik 43 — an eye already without sight
Reports Zayd ibn Thabit’s amount for an eye that remained but had lost sight; Malik’s reported practice uses judicial assessment for a pre-existing blind eye.
Frankfurter — central-bank exchange-rate feed
Daily reference rates blended from central banks and official institutions. The source and publication date may vary by currency; rates are informational, not transaction quotes.
European Central Bank — reference exchange rates
The ECB contributes EUR reference rates for supported pairs. It normally updates them each working day and says they are for information, not transaction use.
