وَإِنْ صَالَ السَّبُعُ عَلَى مُحْرِمٍ فَقَتَلَهُ فَلَا شَيْءَ عَلَيْهِ.
Translation: If a predator attacks a person in ihram and the person kills it, no compensation is due.
The verb sala means that the animal attacked. This is a specific defensive case, not merely seeing a predator nearby.
The preceding clause can impose capped compensation for other predators; this attack clause removes the liability for the stated defensive killing. The factual context determines which rule applies.
