Question:
He says: Honorable Shaykh, Mabah, this questioner asks: Is it permissible for you, if you have been wronged by a person, to avenge yourself by taking your right from him if it is financial? Even if you are compelled to do so by swearing a false oath, because he is the one who caused you this loss.
Answer:
If someone wrongs you in your money, file a case against him in the Sharia court, bring evidence, and obtain your right, if Allah wills. If you are unable to file a case against him and you find his money, meaning you are able to take your right from his money, and you do not exceed that, there is nothing wrong with it. This is called the issue of finding (al-zafar). It is called the issue of finding (al-zafar). Yes.
