Is there any obligation on one who kills a person while defending himself?
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The Shaykh : I mean... because, of course, you are reporting from him and according to what he told you, but we do not know the truth; none knows it but Allah (Mighty and Majestic). What we heard clearly is that if the man did not kill the one who wanted to kill him... the killer becomes a victim. And in the Sunnah, in many hadiths, it is stated that if a Muslim is attacked by a person who wants to kill him, he must defend himself. If he cannot, and he kills him, then the victim is in the Fire because he intended to kill his companion. And if the opposite is the case, meaning the one who was attacked actually killed, then the victim is in Paradise and the killer is in the Fire. So the story we heard appears to show that if the man did not kill, he became a victim. So if he defended himself and killed the one who wanted to kill him, then there is nothing in this, praise be to Allah.

The Shaykh : I mean, he gave charity with his money. What is the ruling on this charity before the killing? The scope of giving charity is wide, every hour, every minute, but it has no connection to this incident, as long as he was going to be, I mean, the victim.
