Retaliation in Kind for the Coerced and Compelled Person, and His Becoming a Tool

The questioner:
You are not a shaykh, may Allah preserve you. You mentioned, may Allah preserve you, in the previous lesson that if a believer’s choice increases, the one who is coerced becomes a deferrer, and he is placed in a higher station.

The Shaykh:
Yes, there is no doubt about this. If the coerced person is forced and has no choice, he becomes a tool in the hand of the one who coerces him. So the retaliation is upon the one who coerces, not upon the coerced, because he has become like a tool.

The questioner:
Yes.

The Shaykh:
For example, he threw him onto a person. He took a person and threw him onto another, and he died; his neck was broken and he died. This is a case of being forced because he was dropped; he had no choice. He threw him onto him until his neck was broken and he died. Yes.
