What does one do if he is insulted?

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Is it permissible for a man to insult the one who insulted him with the same insult?

Answer:
Insulting, cursing, and invoking curses are forbidden words. However, if someone attacks you and insults or curses you, it is permissible for you to take retaliation (qisas). It is permissible for you to insult him with the same insult he used against you; this is retaliation in the category of qisas. Yes.
