If a person is injured during play, is retaliation (qisas) due from the one who injured him?
Source: FtawySummary from Ftawy's records · added here Sep 2, 2026
For retribution (Qisas) to be applicable, the act must be intentional and aggressive. It is also a condition that justice and proportionality can be achieved through it. If this is not possible, then Qisas is not prescribed. Therefore, there is no Qisas for a blow or a slap that does not cause a wound or deprive an organ of its function, due to the impossibility of achieving proportionality therein.
