Killing one who denies the prayer without a court ruling
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success, is it permissible to kill one who denies the prayer if the proof has been established against him, without informing the court?
Answer:
No, the hudud (fixed Qur'anic punishments) are not established except by the one in authority. He sits down, or he does not forgive, he does not sit down. This is if the court rules with apostasy; then it is obligatory for the one in authority to rule with the hudud. Allah the Exalted knows best, and may Allah send prayers and peace upon our Prophet Muhammad, and upon his family and his Companions.
