Diyyah laws in Saudi Arabia

[saif]

Assalamu alaikum,

For those, who do not know, what Diyyah is: It is the money payable to the family of the victim of a murder, if they agree to accept it.

Can somebody from Saudi Arabia confirm the rate list of lives given in the following wikipedia article?

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Diyya

If this is not true, it should be corrected. Wikipedia article is referring to the following link:

Is it correct understanding of the law, that if a muslim man in Saudi Arabia murders a hindu woman, he will have to pay just 3333 Riyals to her family and they will have no right to ask for Qisaas (i.e. Eye for an eye) ? A clarification in this regard will be highly appreciated.

Wassalamu alaikum.

Assalamu alaikum,

More than a year ago, I had requested the saudi friends at TTI to cofirm the information given in the above mentioned wikipedia article regarding Diyya Laws in Saudi Arabia. I have yet to receive an answer. Please also confirm, if a non-muslim has the right to opt for Qisaas (and to reject the Diyya).

If this article is not true, then it is our moral responsibility to correct it.

Wassalamu alaikum

Assalamu alaikum,

I had asked original questino about Diyyah laws in Saudi Arabia 3 years before. I would like to conclude it now with the assumption, that the information provided in wikipedia is correct, given the fact, that in 3 years nobody has posted a reply on this thread.

I would like to discuss the law of diyyah and qisaas in length and would like to point out, where it had been misunderstood.

Wassalamu alaikum

Can the family of a christian man ask for Qisaas, when he was killed by a muslim man? If not, on what basis? Isn't it injustice, if no muslim murderer can be killed for killing non muslims?
