Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
I said, O my grandfather, is retaliation for injuries carried out by the nature of the injury? Is retaliation for injuries, such as a tooth for a tooth and a finger for a finger, known by them?
Answer:
Yes, it is practiced now in this Kingdom, and praise be to Allah, which applies the Shari'ah. As for in other countries, they do not apply the law; rather, they rule by laws and statutes. As for this Kingdom, may Allah protect it, it rules by the law and executes retaliation for the soul and retaliation for limbs, yes, as Allah the Exalted has commanded. Yes.
