The ruling on killing the apostate whose blood has been made lawful

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
He says: Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success, if a person is ruled to be an apostate and his blood is made lawful, is it permissible for any Muslim who sees him and is able to kill him to do so?

Answer:
No, it is not permissible. This is chaos. Only the imam or his deputy may execute the hudud (fixed Qur'anic punishments), otherwise there will be chaos in society.
