The basis for the application of retaliation (Qisas) in non-fatal bodily injuries.
Chapter on Retaliation (Qawad)
Al-Mughni
Book of Wounds
Primary text
Scholars unanimously agree on the application of Qisas in limbs. This is established by the Almighty's statement: 'And the eye for an eye, and the nose for a nose, and the ear for an ear, and the tooth for a tooth, and for wounds is retaliation' (Quran 5:45). This is further established by the narration of Rabeeb bint Al-Nadr bin Anas.
