Hirsch Summary
According to Abraham da Costa Abendana, the right to self-defence is unrestricted. In other words, if a homeowner faces an intruder, they are authorized to use lethal force if it would have been sufficient to prevent the danger by injuring one of the intruder's limbs. This interpretation allows homeowners to protect themselves and their property effectively.
