Does discretionary punishment (ta'zir) extend to death?

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question : If it were expected to happen to you, my dear, if it were expected.

Answer : No, a discretionary punishment that leads to death? Glory be to Allah. According to the school of jurisprudence, discretionary punishment does not exceed ten lashes, and with a whip that is neither new nor old. Do you understand? And ten lashes are not a death for men.
