In the story of the 'Urayn, the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) did not go beyond what they did to the shepherd; does this permit mutilation in kind?

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner : In the story of the 'Urayn, the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) did not go beyond what they did to the shepherd; does this permit mutilation in kind...?

The Shaykh : Yes, in my view, as I said, it is a matter of hesitation, because the intended meaning is actually the category, the category of mutilation. However, the most cautious course, without a doubt, is not to go beyond what they did.
