The Benefit of the Lips and Their Consideration in Retaliation

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Among the matters is the question of whether the benefit of the lips, which is sensation, is considered, or whether that is not considered except in retaliation? Is the benefit of the lips, which is sensation, considered, or is that also so in the case of its specific function?

Answer:
How is the sensation? The benefit of the lips is in beauty, the beauty of the face and covering the mouth, and their benefit is also in speech and letters, pronouncing the letters,
(8) Have We not made for him two eyes? (9) And a tongue and two lips?أَلَمْ نَجْعَل لَّهُ عَيْنَيْنِ وَلِسَانًا وَشَفَتَيْنِ
[Al-Balad 90:8-9]
. They have benefits, so the like is cut for the like without looking at whether this lip has sensation or not, just as the sound tooth is taken for the defective one if the victim agrees.
