The Ruling on Retaliation for Cutting a Defective Upper Lip
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner:
If the upper lip of the victim is intentionally cut by aggression, but the perpetrator’s upper lip is defective, such as being cleft, does retaliation apply to him?
The Shaykh:
Yes, retaliation is taken on the upper lip, even if it is incomplete, because this is what exists, and the incomplete one is still of use; the perpetrator benefits from it, even if it is incomplete.
The questioner:
He asks: Or is it said that it is not equal in health and perfection?
The Shaykh:
There is no retaliation for the lip, because even if the lip has some defect, it still serves its purpose.
