Is the perpetrator punished in the same way he treated the victim by burning him with fire?

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
If a person kills another by burning him with fire, is the perpetrator treated in the same way he treated the victim?

Answer:
No, because he prohibited torture with fire. The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) prohibited torture with fire. This is a forbidden act, so the perpetrator is not treated in the same way he treated the victim; rather, he is killed with the sword.
