Who Enforces the Fixed Punishments

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
He says: Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success, who is the authority that enforces the fixed punishments? Is it the committee, the police, or the judge?

Answer:
The one to whom the authority delegates the enforcement of the fixed punishments is the one who enforces them. If he delegates it to the ruler, the ruler enforces it. If he delegates it to the head of the committee, he enforces it. If he delegates it to the judge, the one who represents the imam enforces it. If he delegates it to the head of the police, there is no harm. Yes.
