The Time of Retaliation for Wounds and Lacerations
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Honorable Shaykh, may Allah reward you. Regarding these wounds or lacerations, is the retaliation carried out before the victim heals, or is it always delayed?
Answer:
No, it is not carried out until he heals. Once he has healed, because it is not known whether the wound will end his life; it might kill him, or it might spread and kill him. So they wait until he is fully recovered, and then at that time the retaliation is carried out. Yes.
