Why Is a Woman’s Blood Money Half a Man’s?
Why does Islam stipulate that the blood money paid when the victim is a woman to be half the amount paid
when it is a man? Is that a kind of belittling of women? Does this not contradict the Islamic principle of honoring women? The enemies of Islam raise such questions, and, in fact, we also do so, but to seek the truth in that regard, not to harbor doubts about the intentions of Islam. How can we refute such false claims about Islam? And what do you say to reassure us concerning that?
