Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
He says: Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success, if a limb is cut off from the perpetrator as retaliation, and he takes it and has a medical procedure performed to reattach it, is this permissible?
Answer:
No, it is not permissible, and he is required to have it destroyed, so he cannot be allowed to reattach it, and it is not permissible for the doctors to reattach it; they are prevented from doing so. The intention is that it be destroyed, and the limb is not left to be taken; it is received, taken, and buried. It is not left to be merely cut off; no, it is taken and buried. Yes.
