A question about some of the rulings on bodily injury?
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner : As for when we say that if he strikes... then what he is liable for is... well, if he intended his eye but he closed it and only hit the eyelid, that does not mean...
The Shaykh : It appears that he is not liable for this, because the eyelid covers the place where the injury occurred.
The student: Well, is it analogous to this if he lowered his head and hit the eyelid?
The Shaykh : No, the difference is that this is by nature; the eyelid is a barrier for the eye by nature.
The student: He intended it after he threw it at the same place, but this one lowered his head.
The Shaykh : Yes... and he hit his forehead.
The student: Yes.
The Shaykh : He is liable.
The student : O Shaykh ...
The Shaykh : We have a new lesson, yes.
