Is it permissible to leave the punishment for the one who mocks Allah and His Messenger in this time out of fear of the criticism of the critics?

Question:
Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success. He says: Is there a difference between not carrying out the punishment on the hypocrites during the time of the Messenger (peace and blessings be upon him) so that it would not be said that Muhammad kills his companions, and leaving the carrying out of the punishment on the one who mocks Allah and His Messenger (peace and blessings be upon him) so that it would not be said that the Muslims kill their companions?

Answer:
No, this is not permissible. It is necessary to kill; it is necessary to kill the one who insults Allah or insults the Messenger (peace and blessings be upon him). We do not care about the speech of the disbelievers and the hypocrites. It is necessary to apply the ruling of the Shari'ah, and we should not be deterred by the blame of any blamer for the sake of Allah.
