the body, through which beauty is achieved, and there are no other limbs of their type in the body, so the blood money is due for them, like the hands. Also, because he has removed the beauty [completely] (5), the blood money is due, like the four types of hair according to Abu Hanifa, and like the ears of a deaf person and the nose of one who has lost the sense of smell according to everyone.

If the amount is unknown, a judicial assessment (hukuma) is due, because it is a deficiency the extent of which is not known.
