Defending the Self, Another Person, and Their Sacred Rights

Question:
Ibn Baktir (may Allah have mercy on him) mentioned in his book *Hijab* that one repels aggression from oneself, from another, and from one’s sacred rights through the sacred rights of another, so that the *arqas* (a type of protection or shield) does not depart from the *ilah* (deity or object of worship) without its people, and so that time does not strip it from them. I hope for an explanation of this phrase.

Answer:
We have mentioned this. We said that just as one repels aggression from oneself and one’s sacred rights, one also repels aggression from another Muslim’s self and sacred rights, doing so in the best manner, gradually.
