Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner:
And if the Shaykh, regarding the gathering of stones, what is the Sunnah of the man?
The Shaykh:
The procedure for stoning is to gather small stones, the size of a handful or less, and bring the fornicator to be stoned, throwing stones at him. If it is a woman, her clothes are tied over her so that she is not exposed. It was also said that a hole is dug for her in the ground, and only her chest is exposed, and she is stoned. This is the stoning. Yes.
The questioner:
And it succeeds with him.
The Shaykh:
It is to be done by a group, by a collection of people; one or two are not sufficient. A group gathers and they stone her. Yes.
