Question:
He says: Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success, does exile serve as a substitute for imprisonment in this era?
Answer:
No, Allah (Exalted and Majestic is He) said:[Al-Ma'idah 5:33] So we implement what is stated in the verse. As for the Hanafis, they say that the meaning of exile is imprisonment. But Allah said they are to be exiled from the land, meaning they are to be driven out of it. The imprisoned person is in the land; he has not been driven out of it.
