The Ruling on Executing Retaliation by the Awliya (Close Friends of Allah) of the Murdered Person
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Honorable Shaykh, is it permissible for the awliya of the murdered person to execute the retaliation instead of the one in authority after the ruling has been issued?
Answer:
A hudud punishment or retaliation is not to be carried out except in the presence of the one in authority or his deputy, to prevent injustice and transgression. It is also necessary to maintain security so that no aggression or fitnah (trial, discord or temptation) occurs from the awliya of the perpetrator. Therefore, the hudud or the retaliation must be carried out in the presence of the one in authority or whoever he appoints for that purpose, in order to maintain security and to prevent injustice and transgression. Yes.
