Question:
And if a man cuts off a leg and the other man cuts off half an hour, is it permissible to take less than half an hour in retaliation from him?
Answer:
If the victim agrees to take retaliation from the ankle, he has the right to do so, because he is taking less than his right. Yes. No, it does not exceed. If the fracture is in the middle of the shin, it is not permissible for him to take from the knee, because that is more than his right. But he has the right to take from the ankle, because that is less than his right. Yes.
