If A cuts off the right ear of Z, which was already half missing, and A’s own right ear is intact, what legal liability does A face?

Show Answers

A will be liable to pay arsh, not qisas.A will be liable to qisas, not arsh.A will be responsible for daman.None of the above.

Explanation

When A amputates the right ear of Z, which was already half missing, and A’s own right ear is whole, A is liable to pay arsh (compensation) rather than qisas (retaliation). This is because qisas requires the offender to have the same organ intact to be liable for equivalent retaliation.
