| Jul 3, 2016 at 1:55 | comment | added | SaganRitual | @Medi1Saif Ah, ok, retribution as in punishment for apostasy. I see. I shouldn't have used *retribution then. What I really meant is vengeance, as in, permission to fight someone who has wronged you in the past, even if they're not currently attacking you. That's how I have always understood verses 39-40. Would the fiqh tafsirs you mentioned address that question? Also, feel free to convert your comments to a formal answer. I get very few answers here, so I would be pleased to honor you (in admittedly a small way) with an "accepted answer". | |
| Jul 3, 2016 at 1:02 | comment | added | Medi1Saif♦ | I'd say the 2nd reading allows what you may call retribution as it is a permission to fight disbelievers even if they didn't aggress you, just for the simple reason of them being disbelievers. Note that the verse you mentioned was AFAIK the first verse who allowed Muslims to fight their enemies and aggressors. There are many other Verses which may allow fighting for retribution ... And to get an answer you may need to take a look into a tafsir based on fiqh like the ones of al-Qurtobi or ibn al-'Arabi ... | |
| Jul 2, 2016 at 2:21 | comment | added | SaganRitual | @Medi1Saif Thanks for this comment. Please help me to clarify. I understand what you mean by permission for self-defense-based fighting. But what do you mean by permission to fight disbelievers? Do you mean retribution, or something else? | |
| Jul 2, 2016 at 1:05 | comment | added | Medi1Saif♦ | The problem with the verse you mentioned is that there are two different acknowledged readings in Arabic: yoqatilouna = active form and yoqatalouna = passive form. So from a fiqh perspective there are two opinions a permission for self-defense based fighting and a permission to fight disbelievers. | |
