Blood money is money paid as a fine to the next of kin of somebody who was killed intentionally.
In Islamic terms, Qisas can in some cases result in blood money being payed out to the family of victims. The amount varies from country to country and from case to case. In Saudi Arabia, the amount of blood money for the killing of a muslim woman is half that for killing a muslim man. The blood money for killing non-muslims is lower than both.
