Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The question: Also, it is said in a hadith: Sunan Ibn Majah 2667Da'if (Darussalam)?
The answer: Likewise, this hadith is weak, but the practice is based on it. Retaliation with the sword is preferable because it is more effective in causing death, and the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said:Sahih Muslim 1955a Killing with the sword, when it is in the hand of a knowledgeable person and the sword is good, is more effective in killing and more merciful to the one being killed. Yes.
There is no retaliation except with the sword.
لا قود إلا بالسيفThe answer: Likewise, this hadith is weak, but the practice is based on it. Retaliation with the sword is preferable because it is more effective in causing death, and the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said:
so when you kill, kill in a good way
إذا قتلتم فأحسنوا القتلة
