LessonsBab Jinayat al-Muhrim — Hunting Penalties, Valuation and Liability (Part IV)Quiz

وَالْجَزَاءُ عِنْدَ أَبِي حَنِيفَةَ وَأَبِي يُوسُفَ: أَنْ يُقَوَّمَ الصَّيْدُ فِي الْمَكَانِ الَّذِي قَتَلَهُ فِيهِ، أَوْ فِي أَقْرَبِ الْمَوَاضِعِ مِنْهُ إِنْ كَانَ فِي بَرِّيَّةٍ، يُقَوِّمُهُ ذَوَا عَدْلٍ.
Translation: According to Abu Hanifah and Abu Yusuf, the game is valued at the location of its killing, or the nearest suitable place if it was killed in wilderness; two upright assessors appraise it.

First determine the animal and the relevant place, then have two reliable assessors establish its value; it is not an arbitrary self-selected figure.

This is the appraisal method of Abu Hanifah and Abu Yusuf. Muhammad’s different emphasis on equivalent livestock is stated later in the text.
