The implementation of the hudud (fixed Qur'anic punishments) of qisas (retaliation in kind) by shooting

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Is it permissible to implement the hudud of qisas by shooting instead of with a sword?

Answer:
Carrying out qisas is the responsibility of the judges, not ours. They use the appropriate instrument, the one that provides relief for the one from whom retribution is taken and ensures the right is fully satisfied. Yes.
