The people of knowledge have said that a man will be killed in retaliation for a woman. ‘Umar (may Allah be pleased with him) said that in the case of a man being killed by a woman, or for wounds less than intentional murder, retaliation (qisas) will be taken. This is also the statement transmitted from ‘Umar ibn ‘Abdul-‘Aziz, Ibrahim, and Abu’z-Zinad from their teachers. And the sister of Rabi‘ injured a man during the time of the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him), so the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) ruled for retaliation (qisas).

Narrated `Aisha: We poured medicine into the mouth of the Prophet during his ailment. He said, "Don't pour medicine into my mouth." (We thought he said that) out of the aversion a patient usually has for medicines. When he improved and felt better he said, "There is none of you but will be forced to drink medicine, except Al-`Abbas, for he did not witness your deed."
