Hadith 257

Hadith. 5223 - Al-Hasan ibn Mahbub narrated from Hisham ibn Salim from Abu Basir from Abu Jafar Imam Muhammad ibn Ali Al-Baqir (as) that he was asked about a young boy who had not reached maturity and a woman who together killed a man. Imam (as) said: "The mistake (khaṭaʾ) of a woman and a boy is considered intentional killing (Amd). If the heirs of the murdered person wish to kill both of them, they may do so, but they must return five thousand dirhams to the boy's heirs. If they wish to kill the boy, they may do so, and the woman must return a quarter of the blood money (diyyah) to the boy's heirs. If the heirs of the murdered person wish to kill the woman, they may do so, and the boy must return a quarter of the blood money to the woman's heirs. If the heirs of the murdered person choose to accept blood money, then half of the diyyah is upon the boy and half upon the woman. "
