Is the hadd (fixed punishment) carried out on a father who commits zina (unlawful sexual intercourse) with his daughter?

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
It has been established with us that a father is not killed for his son. The question is: if the father is deviant or perverted and commits zina with his daughter, is the hadd carried out on him?

Answer:
This is for the judge. His case is referred to the judge. If it is proven against him, the judge rules against him according to the Shari'ah. It is not permissible for anyone to carry out the hadd on him; this is within the authority of the Imam, and the matter is referred to the judiciary. Yes, if matters are left to individual judgment, it leads to chaos. Yes.
