The ruling on the dropping of the hadd punishment for killing after appealing to the judge
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
May Allah reward you. The questioner asks: Is the hadd punishment for killing like the hadd punishment for theft, in that it does not drop after appealing to the judge?
Answer:
Killing, my brother, is qisas (retaliation in kind). This is qisas, which is a right belonging to the created being. So if he forgives it, there is no harm. As for the hudud (fixed Qur'anic punishments) that belong to Allah the Exalted, these do not drop. These do not drop if they reach the ruler. However, if they do not reach the ruler and it is kept secret, keeping it secret is required. Whoever covers for a Muslim, Allah will cover for him. But on the condition that he does not repeat it, and that he is not one who openly exposes himself to sin. Yes.
