Question:
He says: Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success. He says: Outside our country, when a man kills a man, the family of the victim kills the killer; because the state does not implement the Shari'ah. What is the ruling on this action, which is called taking revenge?
Answer:
Taking revenge is not permissible. This necessitates the shedding of blood; the shedding of blood is not permissible except by the ruling of the legitimate ruler. You know that retaliation is not carried out, after it is established and its conditions are met, except in the presence of the one in authority, or the deputy of the one in authority. Yes.
