Retaliation in kind for injury to a limb below the joint and beyond it

Question:
Honorable Shaykh Ahmad (may Allah have mercy on him), does the restriction not apply if an ignorant person exceeds the limit in prison, or if it was at the beginning before the harvest?
Answer:
If the injury is below the joint, there is no retaliation in kind. If it is beyond the joint, the perpetrator has the choice: if he wishes, he takes the blood money, and if he wishes, he takes retaliation from the joint, because it is less than his right.
