5:45: “And We ordained for them therein a life for a life, an eye for an eye, a nose for a nose, an ear for an ear, a tooth for a tooth, and for wounds is legal retribution.”

Kid gets punched in school, loses a tooth, but is not allowed to punch back (I understand forgiveness is better) but although punching back is totally permissible, it is prohibited today. Why, where did you think I was going with this?

RV, please don’t reveal any of my secrets.

ajazali: I didn’t mean relaxations. So you’re agreeing now that it’s a pertinent issue?

Your gender is not a secret … Well it should not be … I’m not sure this law applies to children being allowed to punch each other’s teeth out … Children are under the radar of shar’iah … However, I’m sure making a fuss over it through civil court case will lead to the culprits parents paying for the resultant dental surgery. But thinking again I think you are right … In Arab counties if the accidentally kill or harm a foreigner there is no real penalty and vice versa can be quite a harsh punishment. Ok let’s include eye-4-eye on the list purely because justice is served partially these days just as they used to do in the past.

I think this preventing Muslims from entering other Muslim countries is also a strange new intervention. But I’m not sure it was ever clearly permissible and became forbidden later on.
