THE DAFYOMI DISCUSSION LIST
brought to you by Kollel Iyun Hadaf of Yerushalayim

[REPLY TO THIS MESSAGE TO DISCUSS THE DAF WITH THE KOLLEL]

Sanhedrin 072: Rodef
Pat asks:
Hi,
If the thief leaves the house, may the homeowner pursue outside to
kill or does that make the homeowner a Rodef? This occurred to me
because of current discussions in the US about "stand your ground" laws.
Pat, Greenbelt MD USA

The Kollel replies:
The Rambam (Hilchos Geneivah 9:11) rules that whether the thief
successfully stole or did not even steal, if he is leaving (i.e. in
the process of running away) the homeowner is not allowed to kill him.
All the best,
Yaakov Montrose
