What is the ruling on defending a military site by shooting and wounding the attackers?
Source: FtawySummary from Ftawy's records · added here Sep 2, 2026
Scholars have determined the permissibility of repelling an aggressor, meaning resisting an assailant, according to specific regulations. This permissibility applies if there is a just cause for repelling the aggressor. However, if what is being defended is based on falsehood, then repelling the aggressor in such a case is not permissible.
