Question:
May Allah reward you, Honorable Shaykh. A questioner says: Regarding Jundub’s action in killing the sorcerer, and likewise Hafsa (may Allah be pleased with her), is that considered usurping the authority of the one in charge, or how is that explained?
Answer:
The master executes the punishment on his slave. It is well known among the scholars that the master executes it. In the hadith, it says: "Execute the punishment on those whom you own," or words to that effect. The master executes the punishment on Hafsa; she executes it because she is her owner, she is her owner. As for the killing of... the Companion Jundub killing the sorcerer, that is forbidding what is wrong. The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said:Sahih Muslim 49a, and Jundub was able to change it with his hand because he was one of the Companions of the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him). Yes.

مَنْ رَأَى مِنْكُمْ مُنْكَرًا فَلْيُغَيِّرْهُ بِيَدِهِ فَإِنْ لَمْ يَسْتَطِعْ فَبِلِسَانِهِ
