Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
In my country, they do not apply the hudud to the drinker of khamr. One of my neighbors asked me and some of my friends to apply the hadd for drinking beer to him, as a repentance to Allah. Can we do this ourselves?
Answer:
His repentance is sufficient. He should repent to Allah, and that is enough. You should not apply the punishment yourself. He must repent to Allah, and if he repents sincerely, Allah will accept his repentance.
