قَالَ مَالِكٌ فِي الْجَمَلِ يَصُولُ عَلَى الرَّجُلِ، فَيَخَافُهُ عَلَى نَفْسِهِ، فَيَقْتُلُهُ أَوْ يَعْقِرُهُ، فَإِنَّهُ : إِنْ كَانَتْ لَهُ بَيِّنَةٌ عَلَى أَنَّهُ أَرَادَهُ، وَصَالَ عَلَيْهِ، فَلَا غُرْمَ عَلَيْهِ، وَإِنْ لَمْ تَقُمْ لَهُ بَيِّنَةٌ إِلَّا مَقَالَتُهُ. فَهُوَ ضَامِنٌ لِلْجَمَلِ.
Imam Malik, may Allah have mercy on him, said that if a camel attacks a person and that person, fearing for his life, kills or injures the camel, then if he has witnesses to the fact that the camel attacked him, there will be no compensation upon him; otherwise, he will have to pay compensation.
