Saeed bin Musayyab says: Umar bin Khattab fixed 13 percent of the whole blood money for the thumb; 12 percent for the index finger, 10 percent for middle finger, 9 percent for the finger next to it and 6 percent for the small finger.
It is narrated from Abu Ghatfan that: Ibne Abbas said: The blood money of each finger is one-tenth. (that is one-tenth of blood money of a complete man). Marwan came to know about the verdict of Ibne Abbas. He summoned him and asked:
“O Ibne Abbas, why do you give uniform verdict about fingers? Have you not heard the verdict of Umar?”
Ibne Abbas said: “May God forgive Umar; the statement of the Messenger of Allah (s.a.w.a.) is having precedence over the decision of Umar.”
(Kitabul Umm, Shafei, 1:58 & 134 [1/151]; Sonan Baihaqi, 8:93)
