Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
The questioner asks: Can the discretionary punishment reach the point of killing, especially in the case of one who establishes a state of disorder through zina (unlawful sexual intercourse), liwat (sodomy), and drinking khamr (intoxicants)?
Answer:
Yes. The discretionary punishment varies according to the crimes; it begins with words, reproof, and admonition, and ends with killing. If the evil of the crime can only be averted by killing, then he is killed, because his ruling is the ruling of the aggressor.
