Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
He says: Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success, if a man falsely accuses another man of adultery and then asks him to pardon him, and he pardons him, is it obligatory to carry out the punishment, considering that the news did not reach the official authorities?
Answer:
We have told you that this is a right belonging to the one who was falsely accused. If he permits it, it is not just the punishment. If the one who was falsely accused permits it, the punishment is dropped from him. If he demands it, he goes to the judge, and the judge takes the necessary measures.
