How does one seek justice?","question":"I know forgiveness is generally preferred, but when can I seek vengeance? What are the parameters? Can I seek vengeance against those who have wronged not me directly but my family like my mother or my child or my sibling, etc?\nWhat is acceptable under \"justice\"? Can executing physical harm as a response be considered reasonable justice in certain situations? Consider a situation where one may continue to oppress other people if actions aren't taken into one's own hands.","answer":"Muslims can seek justice, not vengeance. Islam is a religion of law and order. People cannot dispense justice independently. Unfortunately, without further context to your question, I'm not able to provide additional information.","tags":[{"_id":"668d9fe40b76658b4c23283a","tag":"Contemporary Life: Other","count":137},{"_id":"668d9ff30b76658b4c232a04","tag":"Justice","count":4}],"createdOn":"2024-07-09T20:39:15.489Z"}
