The Ruling on Retaliation for a Head Wound

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
A man struck another man and gashed his head. Is retaliation by gashing the offender's head permissible, and is blood money the better option?

Answer:
This is a matter for the judge; they refer it to the court, which examines this crime, because crimes vary and require specific guidelines, and the ruling on them is not uniform. Yes.
