Question:
Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success. You mentioned (may Allah preserve you) that forgiveness is not permissible in the hudud (fixed Qur'anic punishments). What is your view on forgiveness in the punishment for killing?
Answer:
The punishment for killing is a right belonging to the created being. That is, forgiveness is permissible in it because it is a right belonging to the created being. In fact, forgiveness is encouraged in the case of killing. As for the punishment for theft, the punishment for zina (unlawful sexual intercourse), and the punishment for drinking, these are rights belonging to Allah, and forgiveness is not permissible in them.
