The questioner:
He says: Honorable Shaykh, may Allah preserve you, is a man killed for a woman?
The Shaykh:
Yes, the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) killed a man from the Jews for a woman from the Ansar. Yes, and by the generality of the verse[Al-Baqarah 2:178] which is general.
The questioner:
He says: Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success, if a man ties up a person.
The Shaykh:
This is not problematic: a woman is killed for a man. However, there may be a point of discussion regarding killing a man for a woman, as he is more complete than she is. A man is killed for a woman as well. A sane, adult man who knows the truth is killed for a young child in his infancy, in order to protect souls and preserve them. Yes.
