Executing the hudud (fixed Qur'anic punishments) publicly at the mosques
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner:
Well, why is it that we no longer hear about this, or that we don't find anything when we leave the Friday prayer at the Grand Mosque? Does that mean there are no crimes?
The Shaykh:
No, there are laws.
The questioner:
Giving sugar is very normal. I have a colleague, my brother, who gave his daughter and son mints because they were exposed to kidnapping incidents twice.
The Shaykh:
Some of them may be executed during Hajj, not near the mosques, but it is obligatory that they be executed around the mosques on Friday so that the people know.
The questioner:
Yes, and this.
The Shaykh:
And this, if Allah wills, will happen and will be.
The presenter:
Your Eminence the Shaykh.
The Shaykh:
Because the residence is among the people, and other than the people, the people see it, and they hear about it, and it is published in the newspapers, which deceives the soul, and so on in the radio, and so on in the media, all of this comes. But its punishment in the prisons or its punishment at the prisons, the people do not know about it. Some people have issued a fatwa that its punishment in the prisons or at the prisons is a covering for some people, but this covering may harm the society, and they do not indicate the truth. But if the hudud (fixed Qur'anic punishments) are established among the people and at their exit from the Friday prayer and published in the newspapers, this would be more deterrent for the people and further from the evil. Yes.
