Summary
Malik said: the agreed practice among us is that there is no retaliation between children, and that their deliberate acts are accidental, unless prescribed punishments are due on them and they reach puberty; and that a child's killing is always accidental. If a child and an adult together kill a free man accidentally, each one's kin owe half the blood-money. 1
