If the offender has no nose and he cut off another person's nose, how do we apply retaliation against him?

The questioner : If the offender has no nose, and he cut off a person's nose, we cut off his hand, except for the one he cut off. We cut off the hand that did the cutting, so that he does not cut off another one.

The Shaykh : Is that clear? What do you say? This is a mistake, isn't it? I think we mentioned yesterday or the day before yesterday that a condition for retaliation is similarity in name and location.

The questioner : This is the responsibility of this man.

The Shaykh : Okay, if it is mentioned, why do you say that? If the offender has no nose and he cut off a man's nose, there is only blood money. He owes blood money. He owes blood money.

The questioner : I am not obligated to help you.

The Shaykh : He does not have the debt, but if this is known for corruption, meaning, for example, he says about himself, "I have no nose, I will cut off people's noses, and I have a lot of money, I will give them money," this is a form of treatment. We imprison him.
