Question:
What is the ruling on one who denies the hadd punishment of stoning? Does this fall under the category of one who denies something known from the religion by necessity?
Answer:
If he knows the ruling and denies it out of stubbornness, he commits disbelief and apostatizes from Islam. However, if he denies it out of ignorance or by relying on a doubt, and his error is clarified to him, then if he repents after the clarification, otherwise he is judged to be an apostate. Yes.
