Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success. He says: If a person uses narcotics and then kills someone, is retaliation in kind carried out against him?
Answer:
Yes, indeed. Why would retaliation not be carried out against him? Retaliation is carried out against him. Even if he did not kill a person, if he uses narcotics, promotes them, and sells them, he is executed. This is a decision issued by the Committee of Senior Scholars to execute those who sell them, those who promote them, and those who bring them in; all of them are executed. Yes.
