If a man attacks another who is armed, is he obligated to defend himself, given that he will likely be killed?

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The Shaykh : If a man attacks another and intends to commit unlawful sexual intercourse with his wife, and the attacker is armed while the victim is not, is the second man obligated to defend his family and his honor, even though he strongly suspects that he will be killed to no avail?
No, if he strongly suspects that he will be killed, Allah does not burden a soul beyond its capacity.
