2641. It was narrated from 'Umar bin Khattâb that he asked the people about the ruling of the Prophet ﷺ concerning that – concerning a fetus. Hamal bin Mâlik bin Nâbighah stood up and said: "I was between my two wives and one of them struck the other with a tent-pole, killing her and her fetus. The Messenger of Allâh ﷺ ruled that the blood money for the fetus was a slave, and that she should be killed in retaliation." (Sahih)
2641 - حَدَّثَنَا أَحْمَدُ بْنُ سَعِيدٍ الدَّارِمِيُّ قَالَ: حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو عَاصِمٍ قَالَ: أَخْبَرَنِي ابْنُ جُرَيْجٍ قَالَ: حَدَّثَنِي عَمْرُو بْنُ دِينَارٍ، أَنَّهُ سَمِعَ طَاوُسًا، عَنِ ابْنِ عَبَّاسٍ، عَنْ عُمَرَ بْنِ الْخَطَّابِ، أَنَّهُ نَشَدَ النَّاسَ قَضَاءَ النَّبِيِّ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ فِي ذَلِكَ - يَعْنِي فِي الْجَنِينِ - فَقَامَ حَمَلُ بْنُ مَالِكِ بْنِ النَّابِغَةِ فَقَالَ: كُنْتُ بَيْنَ امْرَأَتَيْنِ لِي فَضَرَبَتْ إِحْدَاهُمَا الْأُخْرَى بِمِسْطَحٍ فَقَتَلَتْهَا، وَقَتَلَتْ جَنِينَهَا، «فَقَضَى رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ فِي الْجَنِينِ بِغُرَّةٍ عَبْدٍ وَأَنْ تُقْتَلَ بِهَا»

The Noble Qur'ân and the word and practices of the Noble Prophet ﷺ are the basis of Islamic law. If any issue is not clear for judgment, it is necessary to seek the answer from the Noble Qur'ân and from the Ahâdîth of the Prophet ﷺ. Killing a pregnant woman is a dual murder, killing of the mother and killing her baby, the punishment for killing a fully developed baby in mother's womb is giving of a male or female slave, and the punishment for killing a mother is blood money, or killing in retaliation.
