The Punishment for One Who Peeks into a House
Author: Imran Ayub Lahori
Peeking into a House and Liability (Diyah)
The noble Hadith states:
لو أن رجلا اطلع عليك بغير إذن فخذفته بحصاة ففقأت عينه ما كان عليك جناح
“If a man looks into your house without permission, and you throw a pebble at him and put out his eye, there is no blame upon you.”
