The Reality of the Hadd Punishment for Zina as a Right of Allah and the Effect of Pardon in It

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
The Shaykh was born, truly, and time passed until he asked: Is it a right belonging to Allah the Exalted, with no right for the wronged party in it? And if the wronged party has a right in it, how is repentance from it possible?

Answer:
Zina is a right belonging to Allah the Exalted, and it is for the benefit of the created beings. It is a right belonging to Allah, and it is for the benefit of the created beings. Therefore, pardon and relinquishment do not apply to it, because it is a right belonging to Allah the Exalted. Intercession does not apply to it, because it is a right belonging to Allah the Exalted. It is for the benefit of the servants, to protect their honor and safeguard their chastity. Yes.
