What is the ruling on assaulting one's paternal uncle after he has assaulted me?
Source: FtawySummary from Ftawy's records · added here Sep 2, 2026
Forgiving the aggressor is better and closer to piety, and it carries a great reward, especially if the person is a relative. If you insist on retaliation, you may retaliate in kind without excess, and without disobeying Allah. If he insults you, you may respond in kind without lying.
