Abstract: Based on the rule of retaliation, when the right holder refers to the ruler but is unable to prove or enforce their right, in this case, any individual who is aware of the existence of the debt can seek justice. This institution, which in terms of nature can be defined within the framework of real unilateral acts (Iqa'), creates a temporary ownership right for the retaliator against the person from whom the retaliation is taken.

Now, in comparing natural obligation with retaliation (lex talionis), it can be said that in both cases, regardless of whether a legal institution is proven or not, they are considered to exist.
(Al-Urwah al-Wuthqa 731/6/; Al-Aqtab al-Fiqhiyyah 67/) or they claim the fall of the right (for example, by claiming the realization of a transfer/hawala: Jami' al-Maqasid 384/5/) or that they are absent, in which case, even if their denial is not proven, retaliation from their assets is permissible.
