Question:
Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success, he says: Is it established that the Shaykh al-Islam used to carry out the hudud without referring to the Imam?
Answer:
This is a lie. The Shaykh al-Islam is the most likely to seek to act in accordance with the Shari'ah (Islamic sacred law); he does not carry out the hudud, rather the wali al-amr (the one in authority) of the Muslims carries them out. Yes.
