Question:
Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success. A Muslim man in a land of the disbelievers committed zina. Is repentance sufficient for him, or is it necessary for him to ask his Muslim brothers to carry out the hadd punishment on him?

Answer:
Only the ruler, the one in authority over the Muslims, carries out the hadd punishments.
