Abstract

The rules of ‘retaliation’ in the light of the Holy Quran and its license restrictions in the three areas of private law, criminal law and international law issues are raised in this paper.
In the private law the question is whether we can take retaliation verses and vengeance verses, to reach liability and civil liability? In the first part of this article by rejecting those theories which do not accept liability by retaliation verses, this relation between liability and retaliation is reinforced.
In the area of ​​criminal law for crimes committed against life and limb, according to the verses of retaliation and retaliation the question is whether we can accept the retaliation for some people in front of one person? And whether this rule can be applied to crimes committed on the non-member injured such as the crimes of desecration of intimidation and coercion?
In the second part of the article the rules of retaliation against a person known to be error-free, but the implementation of the principle of non-object in crimes against injured or where the murderer does not have the similar part in his body is considered to be limited to some circumstances.
In the area of international law by accepting the principle of retaliation license for an Islamic state based on the verses, the possibility of retaliation between the Islamic State and retaliation of exactly the same abuses were not accepted against the enemy. Because of the "purpose" of civilians and "the direction of" the inhuman behaviors and the use of weapons of mass destruction, these measures are faced restrictions and prohibitions.
