Question:
May Allah reward you. These are some of the questions that came in via the internet. The questioner from France says: If a person commits a major sin that entails a hadd (fixed punishment) and asks his family to execute the hadd upon him in a land that is not governed by the Shari'ah, do they execute it or not?
Answer:
No. Only the wali al-amr (the one in authority), the authority over the Muslims, executes the hudud. No other people execute them. Yes.
