Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Honorable Shaykh, is it permissible for someone to intercede for a thief after the authority or the court has reached him?

Answer:
You have heard the hadith
cursed him who accommodated an innovatorلعن الله من أوى محدثا
Sahih Muslim 1978b
, and the one who has committed the act (al-muhaddith) is the one upon whom the ruling of Allah’s fixed punishments is obligatory, so a person came and prevented the execution of the ruling against him.
