Hadith.5532 - Safwan ibn Yahya Al-Azraq narrated from Abu Al-Hasan (as), regarding a man who was killed while owing a debt and left behind no wealth. His family took the blood money (diyyah) from his killer. Should they use it to settle his debt?
Imam (as) said
"Yes."
I asked: "Even though he left nothing behind?"
Imam (as) replied: "They took his blood money, so they must use it to settle his debt."
5532 - رَوَى صَفْوَانُ بْنُ يَحْيَى اَلْأَزْرَقُ عَنْ أَبِي اَلْحَسَنِ عَلَيْهِ اَلسَّلاَمُ : فِي اَلرَّجُلِ يُقْتَلُ وَ عَلَيْهِ دَيْنٌ وَ لَمْ يَتْرُكْ مَالاً فَأَخَذَ أَهْلُهُ اَلدِّيَةَ مِنْ قَاتِلِهِ عَلَيْهِمْ أَنْ يَقْضُوا دَيْنَهُ قَالَ
"نَعَمْ" قُلْتُ وَ هُوَ لَمْ يَتْرُكْ شَيْئاً قَالَ "إِنَّمَا أَخَذُوا دِيَتَهُ فَعَلَيْهِمْ أَنْ يَقْضُوا دَيْنَهُ".
