Indonesia has agreed to pay $1.9 million to stop the impending execution of an Indonesian maid on death row in Saudi Arabia for murder, a minister said Thursday.

Satinah Binti Jumadi Ahmad was sentenced to death in 2011 for murdering her employer's wife and stealing money. She was due to be beheaded in the coming days.

Her case has attracted huge media attention in Indonesia and there was a campaign in recent weeks to stop the execution from going ahead.

Under Islamic sharia law followed in Saudi Arabia, the family of a victim can settle for "blood money" instead of an execution.

The family demanded seven million riyal ($1.9 million) but contributions from businesses and a group representing companies that send migrant workers abroad only managed to raise four million.
