The Ruling on Mutilation and the Response to Those Who Mutilated Muslims

Machine translationRead the Arabic original

Question:
He says: Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success, what is the ruling on mutilation? And if the disbelievers mutilate us, do we mutilate them?

Answer:
No, the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) forbade that. When he was about to mutilate those who had mutilated Hamzah, Allah forbade him from doing so, saying:

And if you punish [an enemy, O believers], punish with an equivalent of that with which you were harmed. But if you are patient - it is better for those who are patient.

وَإِنْ عَاقَبْتُمْ فَعَاقِبُوا بِمِثْلِ مَا عُوقِبْتُم بِهِ وَلَئِن صَبَرْتُمْ لَهُوَ خَيْرٌ لِّلصَّابِرِينَ

[An-Nahl 16:126]
