ابن المخاض

ابن المخاض

The Kuwaiti encyclopedia defines ibn makhad as the young of a she-camel that has entered its second year; it is so named because its mother has joined the pregnant (makhad) even if she is not pregnant. On zakat, the basic rule is that it is not sufficient; the Hanafis allow taking it at the value of a bint makhad, since value suffices for every kind of zakat in their view. On blood money, it may be counted among the categories of the light diya according to the Hanafis, the Hanbalis and one Shafi'i view, and the Malikis, and the accepted Shafi'i view, deny it. The jurists agree that it is not one of the categories of the heavy diya. ^{1 2}
