the leg, he does not descend to the foot, nor ascend to the thigh, because these are different limbs; thus, he may not retaliate upon them, just as one does not descend from the head to the face, nor ascend from the face to the head.

Section: If one is gashed on the front or back of his head with a wound across it that cannot be accommodated by a similar area on the head of the perpetrator, and he wishes to execute the retaliation from the center of the head, between the two ears, because it is large enough to accommodate such a mudihah wound, there are two opinions regarding this. The first is that it is not permissible, because it is not the same location where he inflicted the wound, so it is not permissible for him to execute the retaliation there, just as if it were possible for him to execute his right from the location of the gash itself. It is also possible that it is permissible, because the head is a single limb, and if he cannot execute his right from the location of the gash, it is permissible [to do so] from elsewhere, just as if he gashed his head on the front with a gash the size of the perpetrator's entire head, it would be permissible to complete the execution of it on the back of the perpetrator's head. This is the explicit text of al-Shafi'i. This is likewise applied to cases where the wound is in a location on the leg, foot, arm, or upper arm. If it is possible to execute [the retaliation] from the location of the injury, it is not permitted to deviate from it, by a single consensus.

1442 - Issue: He said: (And likewise, if he cuts off a limb from a joint, he shall cut off a similar joint, provided the perpetrator is one from whom retaliation would be exacted from the victim if he had killed him.)

The scholars have reached a consensus on the implementation of retaliation for limbs, and this has been established by His, the Almighty's, statement: {And the eye for the eye, the nose for the nose, the ear for the ear, the tooth for the tooth, and for wounds is legal retribution}. And [it is established] by the report of al-Rubayyi' bint al-Nadr ibn Anas. For retaliation to be implemented upon them, five conditions must be met: First, that it be intentional, according to what we have previously mentioned. Second, that the injured person
