Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
May Allah reward you. How do we respond to one who says that the hadd for theft is a jurisprudential hadd and not a Shari'ah hadd?
Answer:
There is a difference between the jurisprudential and the Shari'ah. The jurisprudential is the Shari'ah. The correct jurisprudential is the Shari'ah. But these people want to nullify the hudud (fixed punishments) and they bring forth these tricks and these distortions. They are defeated, and praise be to Allah. Yes.
