Question:
We ask Allah for your well-being. The questioner says: If the one from whom the theft occurred permits it and relinquishes his right after the case has reached the police station, is the hadd (fixed punishment) dropped or not?
Answer:
If it has reached the police, it has reached the ruler; for the police represent the ruler. Therefore, forgiveness has no effect after it has reached the police. Yes.
