Question:
Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success. The questioner says: Regarding retaliation against a woman who has killed someone, is retaliation carried out against her with a sword, or by means of a bullet, and likewise stoning?

Answer:
Whatever she did to the victim is carried out against her. Yes, the woman and the man are equal in this, but the woman’s clothes are tied over her so that she is not exposed. Yes.
