The repentant person asking his friend to carry out the hudud (fixed Qur'anic punishments) against him
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner:
He says: Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success, if a person repents from a hadd (fixed punishment), such as the hadd for zina (unlawful sexual intercourse) committed by a virgin, is it permissible for him to ask his friend, for example, if a person repents from a hadd?
The Shaykh:
Repented? Yes, how did he repent? If the hadd is carried out against him, and the repentance was before it was known about him, before the hadd was established against him, yes.
The questioner:
So, is it permissible for him to ask his friend, in whom he trusts, to purify him from this sin by carrying out the hadd against him, even up to the diyah (blood money)?
The Shaykh:
Meaning, before it reaches the ruler, and before it reaches, meaning, he repented, it is sufficient for him to repent and not ask his friend, and not tell his friend to carry out the hadd against him, as we have previously informed you that carrying out the hudud is among the competencies of the one in authority. Therefore, it is not permissible for his friend to carry out the hadd against him, and it is sufficient for him to repent. And Allah accepts the repentance of those who repent, and Allah is the Concealer who loves to conceal (sins), Glorified and Exalted is He. Yes.
