In Islam, isn’t there a principle that the victim or their relatives can demand retribution against the attacker, essentially ‘an eye for an eye’? So, what about a situation where, for example, a driver accidentally hits and injures a person, causing them to become disabled? Could the victim or his relatives demand that the driver’s bones also be broken and that he be made disabled? I often wonder about this because there are many such cases worldwide.
