The questioner:
We previously discussed the hadith of Ma'iz, in which he fled when the stones were brought to him. Is there evidence in it that he was not tied up with ropes?
The Shaykh:
Yes, indeed. This is evidence that he was not tied up with ropes and that no pit was dug for him. Yes.
The questioner:
So, if an adulterer is stoned in this time, is he tied up with ropes?
The Shaykh:
It depends on the need. It is according to the need. If he needs to be controlled and restrained, then yes, he is tied up. But if he does not need it, he is not tied up with ropes. Yes.
