Question:
Is the hadd for zina a pure right belonging to Allah the Exalted, or is there another right in it belonging to the created being, such as the woman's guardian or others?
Answer:
No, the created being has no right in it; rather, it is a right belonging to Allah. If it were a right belonging to the created being, it would be permissible to forgive it or waive it. The fact that it cannot be waived is proof that it is a right belonging to Allah (Mighty and Majestic). Yes.
