4767. It was narrated from Ya'la bin Munyah that he fought a man and one of them bit the other, who pulled his forearm away from his mouth, and a front tooth fell out. The matter was referred to the Prophet ﷺ and he said: "Would one of you bite his brother as a young camel bites?" And judged it to be invalid. (Sahîh)
4763 - أَخْبَرَنَا مَالِكُ بْنُ الْخَلِيلِ، قَالَ: حَدَّثَنَا ابْنُ أَبِي عَدِيٍّ، عَنْ شُعْبَةَ، عَنْ الْحَكَمِ، عَنْ مُجَاهِدٍ، عَنْ يَعْلَى ابْنِ مُنْيَةَ، أَنَّهُ قَاتَلَ رَجُلًا، فَعَضَّ أَحَدُهُمَا صَاحِبَهُ، فَانْتَزَعَ يَدَهُ مِنْ فِيهِ، فَقَلَعَ ثَنِيَّتَهُ، فَرُفِعَ ذَلِكَ إِلَى النَّبِيِّ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ فَقَالَ: «يَعَضُّ أَحَدُكُمْ أَخَاهُ كَمَا يَعَضُّ الْبَكْرُ؟» فَأَبْطَلَهَا

When someone is assaulted, he has every right to defend himself. If the harm is done to the attacker by the victim, even if he dies while defending himself, no retribution, compensation, or penalty shall have to be paid. If the victim indulges in excess of defending himself, he will be accountable. And the verdict concerning accountability shall be returned by the court of law, making sure whether he merely defended himself or went beyond the bounds of defense.
