The Hadith: 'There should be neither harming nor reciprocating harm'

Q 1: What is the interpretation of the Hadith: There should be neither harming nor reciprocating harm. ?


A: Al-Darar (harm) is a noun and Al-Dirar (harming) is the action of inflicting harm in the present participle. So "There should be neither harming" means no harming in any way to people who caused oneself no harm, whereas the meaning of "reciprocating harm" means no infliction of retaliatory harm on others.This Hadith constitutes one of the great Islamic rulings under which many Jurisprudential issues and rules are classified.May Allah grant us success. May peace and blessings be upon our Prophet Muhammad, his family, and Companions.
