Is the implementation of hudud (the fixed Qur'anic punishments) considered an expiation for the one upon whom they are implemented?

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Another question says, may Allah preserve you: Does the implementation of hudud suffice as a protection from the punishment of the Hereafter?

Answer:
If the hudud is implemented upon a person in this world, and he has repented to Allah, Allah will accept his repentance. If he has not repented, the hudud serve as expiations, if Allah wills. They serve as expiations such that Allah does not combine for him punishment in this world and punishment in the Hereafter. Yes.
