The Difference Between Qisas and Hudud
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Is every hudud a qisas, but not every qisas a hudud?
Answer:
Qisas is not called a hudud; it is not a hudud. Rather, it is a right belonging to the awliya (close friends of Allah) of the victim, or to the perpetrator if he is alive. It is not a hudud, and therefore forgiveness is encouraged in it. As for the hudud, forgiveness is not permissible; forgiveness is not permissible regarding hudud. They are not a place for forgiveness; their application is obligatory.
