Is the hypocrite killed if his hypocrisy becomes apparent?

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
He says: Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success, is the hypocrite killed if his hypocrisy becomes apparent? And what is the meaning of His saying, the Exalted:
Accursed wherever they are found, [being] seized and massacred completely.مَّلْعُونِينَ أَيْنَمَا ثُقِفُوا أُخِذُوا وَقُتِّلُوا تَقْتِيلًا
[Al-Ahzab 33:61]
?

Answer:
The one in authority kills him, if the one in authority sees the public benefit in killing him and what necessitates his killing is established against him, he kills him. So this is left to the one in authority, but not the lawful one or everyone kills; no, this is not chaos.
