Question:
When is it permissible for one who has been wronged for the sake of Allah to use harshness with people?

Answer:
He may take retribution (qisas). Allah has made retribution from the wrongdoer and the transgressor a means of establishing justice among people. Retribution takes various forms. Retribution may be by killing, a life for a life. Retribution may also be for less than that. Retribution may be by speech. So if someone insults another, the one who was insulted may insult him back, to the extent of what was said about him, by way of retribution. Retribution varies; its highest form is retribution by killing the killer, and it applies to transgressions less than that. Yes.
