Question:
Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success. The questioner says: If a person with two healthy eyes gouges out the healthy eye of a one-eyed man, thereby blinding him completely.
Answer:
Yes, the one-eyed man is entitled to retribution by having one of the healthy man's eyes gouged out; because he destroyed his vision entirely, and one eye serves the function of two.
