Question:
What is the impact of establishing these Shari'ah punishments on consolidating security at the individual and societal levels?
Answer:
Without a doubt, establishing the Shari'ah punishments is a mercy, a mercy for the people, a means of developing the earth, and a preservation of security. The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said:
This is because establishing the punishments deters criminals, preserves security, and makes people feel safe in their travels, in their homes, and in their movements. These punishments are a mercy; they preserve religion by executing the apostate, they preserve life by executing the murderer in retaliation, they preserve wealth by amputating the hand of the thief, they preserve security by applying the punishment for those who wage war against Allah and His Messenger, they preserve honor by applying the punishment for unlawful sexual intercourse, which is a mercy from Allah (Glorified and Exalted is He) to His servants, and they preserve honor by applying the punishment for falsely accusing someone of zina, by establishing the punishment for falsely accusing someone of zina. Yes.
