Does the meaning of the Hadith: "The perishing of the world is less significant to Allah, the Exalted and Glorious, than the spilling of a Muslim's blood unjustly" and "The demolition of the Kaaba stone by stone is less significant than the killing of a Muslim" extend to include accidental injuries such as a nail scratch, and is it necessary to inquire about the occurrence of harm if a broken plastic piece is left in the path of the guard with the possibility of it causing an injury?
The meaning of "shedding blood" is pouring and spilling it, and it includes killing and wounding. The commentators of did not mention that "shedding the blood of a Muslim" includes wounding him; rather, they interpreted it as killing. It is stated in an authentic narration that the perishing of the world is less significant to Allah than the unjust killing of a believer, and this is used as an evidence when interpreting the verse in Surat An-Nisa. Intentionally wounding a Muslim, killing him, or inflicting any harm upon him without a legitimate right is forbidden. If you did not intend to place the triangle in the path of the guard, there is no blame on you. However, if you knew about it, you should have removed it or informed the guard if it was highly probable that he would be harmed by it, and removing harm from the road is recommended.
