Question:
He says: Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success, if a person enters my house intending to do something, and I kill him, will retaliation or blood money be imposed on me? Knowing that this person was after something from the family?

Answer:
By Allah, this is for the judiciary, this is for the judge. We cannot say, "I did not mean this" or "I did not mean that." The judge is the one who looks into the circumstances, the details of the matter, and the incident. Yes.
