The victim taking retaliation by himself in the case of beating
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Allah the Exalted said: "And if you punish, then punish with the like of that with which you were punished." So, if a person strikes another, does the victim have the right to take retaliation from that person who attacked him without returning to the responsible authority in the country?
Answer:
The majority hold that there is no qisas (retaliation in kind) for striking or slapping, because similarity is not established in it. Shaykh al-Islam Ibn Taymiyyah permitted qisas for a slap; he permitted qisas for a slap. However, the majority hold that it is not permissible, because similarity is not established, and qisas requires similarity,[Al-Baqarah 2:194]. Yes.

So whoever has assaulted you, then assault him in the same way that he has assaulted you.
فَمَنِ اعْتَدَىٰ عَلَيْكُمْ فَاعْتَدُوا عَلَيْهِ بِمِثْلِ مَا اعْتَدَىٰ عَلَيْكُمْ
