If the husband and wife undergo mutual oath-swearing (li'an) and then one of them retracts, is the hadd (fixed punishment) carried out against him?

The questioner : If they undergo li'an, O Shaykh, and the Imam told them that if one of you is lying, and then one of them retracts, is the curse carried out against him?

The Shaykh : No. If the woman retracts, the hadd is carried out against her. If the man retracts, the punishment of killing is carried out against him, the hadd of killing. No, they are not separated.
