Summary
Malik said: the practice among us is that there is no blood-money for wounds smaller than the wound that exposes the bone, until it reaches the wound that exposes the bone; blood-money is due for the exposing wound and above, because the Prophet ﷺ, in his letter to Amr ibn Hazm (may God be pleased with him), reached the exposing wound and set five camels for it; and the imams did not rule blood-money for anything smaller. 1
