Is defending one's wealth and honor considered jihad, and what is the criterion for this?

Question:
He says: Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success, is defending one's wealth and honor considered jihad? What is the criterion for this? And if I kill the one who attacked me, and then the ruling of retaliation is issued, what is the ruling in that case?

Answer:
The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: his honor is protected. So there is no doubt that one is commanded to defend himself, except if it is a time of fitnah (trial, discord or temptation) among the Muslims, among the Muslims, in which case they say: keeping one's hand off is better. But if it is not the case, and this is specific to certain individuals who have been attacked, then he repels the aggression from himself. Even if he kills the aggressor, the aggressor's blood is worthless, and if he is killed, he is a martyr. Yes.
