in the torah we made mandatory for the jews these rules of retaliation capital punishment for the murder of a person an eye for an eye a nose for a nose an ear for an ear a tooth for a tooth and a just compensation for a wound. if the perpetrator is forgiven by the affected party this will be an expiation of his crime. those who do not judge according to what god has revealed are unjust.
وكتبنا عليهم فيها أن النفس بالنفس والعين بالعين والأنف بالأنف والأذن بالأذن والسن بالسن والجروح قصاص فمن تصدق به فهو كفارة له ومن لم يحكم بما أنزل الله فأولئك هم الظالمون
