Is continuity required in the punishment of flogging?

Question : And branching from this is the case where, for example, one of the corners is one hundred lashes. Is it permissible to divide them over four or five days, or must they all be administered at once to be more effective?

Answer : There is scholarly disagreement on whether continuity is required or not. Some said that continuity is not required; if he is flogged once a day for one hundred days, that suffices. But this is a weak opinion. The correct view is that continuity is a condition, and it is not permissible to delay one lash until after another, except for the amount of time needed to prepare the whip or something similar. Yes. Because He said, "They shall be flogged eighty lashes," and He said, "Each of them shall be flogged one hundred lashes." The person who is flogged once every morning does not fulfill the requirement of being flogged one hundred lashes.
