Dr. Asiya Staff asked 2 months ago

Ustazah! We were told a Hadith that if someone peeps into our house (the concept), we have the right to hit their eye with a stone (correct me if I am wrong), but is this true? And will the person who does so not be blamed? Or was this only meant for understanding?"

If one were to take this Hadith literally and hit someone, I believe one should not do that. One should try to understand these matters [with caution], otherwise, you will end up getting caught in court cases."
