Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
The questioner says: If the hudud (fixed Qur'anic punishments) reach the authority where the crime occurred, does the authority have the right to conceal that crime?
Answer:
No. The amir is a deputy of the imam, so if a hudud punishment reaches him, it is obligatory for him to apply it.
