He (the Imam) said, ‘He must not be killed, fed, given drink, dealt with for buying and selling or given protection and lodging until he comes out of the sacred area, so that he is brought to justice.’ I then asked, ‘What do you say about one who kills someone in the sacred area or steals?’ He (the Imam) said, ‘Al-Hadd (justice) is applied to him inside the sacred area to bring him low; he has not paid any respect to the sacred area and Allah, most High, has said, “Whoever subjects you to their transgression, you can also do of the same degree as they have done against you.” (2:190) He (the Imam) then said, ‘This is the sacred area.’ ‘There is no animosity except the unjust ones, he added.’” (2:193)
