Disposition upon the confession of the offenders
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
The Honorable Shaykh, he says: If a man commits fornication and a woman commits fornication, and they both confess that they committed it in the garden, is it prescribed to stone the fornicator and the fornicatress? If one of them is confessing, does he look for the other, or does he wait for both of them?
Answer:
You must have a system in this matter; you must be operating according to a system. If the system tells you to cover them up, then do so. If the system says no, it says send them to the court, send them to the authority, send them, yes.
