Is there any ruling on one who killed a person while defending himself?

The Shaykh: That is, his case is easy between him and his Lord; because, according to what you are reporting from him, and according to what he told you, as for us, we do not know the truth, and none knows it except Allah (Mighty and Majestic). What we heard clearly is that if the man had not killed the one who was trying to kill him, the killer would have become the victim. In the Sunnah, there are many hadiths stating that if a Muslim is attacked by a person who intends to kill him, he must defend himself. If he is unable to do so and kills the attacker, the victim is in the Fire, because he intended to kill his companion. If the opposite happens, meaning the one who was attacked is actually killed, then the victim is in Paradise and the killer is in the Fire. So the story we heard clearly indicates that if the man had not killed, he would have become the victim. Therefore, he defended himself and killed the one who was trying to kill him, and there is nothing wrong with this, praise be to Allah.
