The ruling on striking a condemned person in a vital area

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
He says: Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success, if the hudud (fixed Qur'anic punishments) is carried out on a person and he is struck in a vital area, what is the ruling in that?

Answer:
That is to be examined. If the one who struck him intended to hit that specific area, then he has committed an act of aggression. However, if he did not intend it but happened to hit that area without intent, then there is nothing on him, because he did not do it deliberately.
