Who is responsible for punishing the one who peeks into houses?

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
May Allah reward you, Honorable Shaykh. This questioner says: Who is the one who gouges out the eye of the one who deliberately looks into a house? Is it the owner of the house or the one in authority?

Answer:
The owner of the house, not the one in authority. It is not as if the one in authority is at your house guarding it. The owner of the house is the most deserving to repel this wrongdoer.
