English translation of the principle

Diyah awards multiply with the multiplicity of injured organs in the human body and the loss of their functions, even if they exceed the diyah for loss of life. The reason for this. They do not merge while life remains, and all merge into the diyah for loss of life. When life is lost.
Arabic original
الدية تتعدد بتعدد الأعضاء المصابة في جسم الإنسان وبفوات منافعها ولو جاوزت دية النفس. علة ذلك. أنها لا تتداخل مع بقاء النفس وتدخل كلها في دية النفس. متى تلفت.
