Question:
Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success, is it permissible for the one against whom the accusation was made to waive the execution of the punishment in this world and say, “I want it to be carried out on me in the Hereafter”?
Answer:
No, he should forgive and waive his right. If he waives it, his right is dropped. The punishment for falsely accusing someone of adultery is a right belonging to the one against whom the accusation was made. If he permits it to be waived, his right is dropped in this world and the Hereafter.
