Question 635) - Does Imaam Muhammed RAH. bin al-Hasan have a different view?

A: Imaam Abu Hanifa RAH. ana Imaam Abu Yusuf RAH. rule according to monetary evaluation and then a choice as discussed above. Imaam Muhammed RAH. declared that the prey's equivalent animal be used where such exists. Thus the penalty of a deer or hyena will be a sheep; a kid for a rabbit; a Budanah for an ostrich and a lamb for a jerboa. As for that which does not have a physical equivalent then his ruling is the same as the two Imams.
