We made binding on them in it (Torah) that a life with a life, And an eye with an eye, and a nose with a nose, And an ear with an ear, and a tooth with a tooth, And injuries have the compensation.
But whoever charitably forgoes with it Then that is an expiation for him. And whoever won’t decide with what Allah has entrusted Then they all are the wrongdoers.
