The Shaykh (may Allah preserve you) asked: Does striking the disbeliever and the accepted one with a full blow count as a complete strike?

If there is no harm to the person in doing so, and he has no creditors to whom he owes debts from his wealth, then there is no problem. However, if it causes him harm such that he lives without money and has to beg from people, that is not permissible. Or if he has creditors who are demanding their debts from him, it is not permissible for him to dispose of his wealth and deprive the creditors of their rightsSunan Ibn Majah 2340Da'if (Darussalam).
