Examples of the right that permits the killing of the protected soul.

The Shaykh : And His saying, Mighty and Majestic: . We will give examples of the right that permits the killing of the protected soul. Among them is qisas (retaliation in kind). Qisas by right means: if a person kills someone and the conditions for qisas are met. Is this killer killed or not? Is he killed or not? He is killed. By the saying of Allah the Exalted: . And the saying of the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him): . So he is killed. And qisas, my brothers, qisas is life. Qisas is life, meaning: Zayd killed 'Umar, so we killed Zayd. We say: this is life. Some secularists and those who object to the Shari'ah have said: How can it be life when one person was killed? And now we kill how many? Two. Where is the life? We say: Glory be to Allah! If we kill this killer, how many criminals will be deterred from killing? Yes. Many, many. Every criminal who contemplates killing, when he knows that his end will be that he is killed, will stop. Because look, my brothers? The most intense love for life is found in those farthest from faith. Did you understand? The most intense love for life and hatred of death is in those farthest from faith. Meaning: the one farthest from faith is the one with the most intense love for life. Allah the Exalted said: What? . And the mushrik (one who associates partners with Allah) does not wish for death. He does not wish for death. The Jew and the Christian do not wish for death. . A criminal cannot commit a deed while knowing that he will be killed for it, ever. Good. So: is the soul for a soul permissible or not permissible? Permissible. And does this contradict the description of the servants of the Most Merciful? No, because he killed by right. And killing by right is permissible. And among killing by right is: that the zani (one who commits unlawful sexual intercourse) is stoned if the conditions are met. Zina (unlawful sexual intercourse) — may Allah protect us from it — Allah said about it: , . Which is more severe and uglier: zina or marriage with those who are mahram (forbidden relatives)? Marriage with those who are mahram. For this reason, He, Mighty and Majestic, said: . And regarding zina, He said: . For this reason, the stronger position (rajih) among the opinions of the scholars is: that whoever commits zina with one of his mahram is killed in all cases, even if he is not a thayyib (one who has previously married). Good. I say: the zani, if he commits zina while he is muhsan (one who has married and consummated the marriage), and Allah has blessed him with marriage, and he enjoyed his wife, then he commits zina, he is stoned in all cases. He is stoned if the conditions are met. And how is the stoning? He is stood up, and pebbles are gathered, and people take from these pebbles and strike him with them until he dies.
And here we ask: Is not killing him with the sword easier? Yes. One person to answer? Yes. Yes, killing him with the sword is easier. So why is he killed with stones? We say:
First: The ruling of Allah, Mighty and Majestic, is not to be objected to. Say: We hear and we obey. If you say: We hear and we obey, Allah will open up for you. Say: We hear and we obey.
Second: Do not think that Islam distinguishes between two things except for a reason. This man, the zani, his desire is attached to his entire body, because the whole body trembles with desire and attains pleasure. So it was appropriate, what? To stone him with stones so that his entire body, which took pleasure in the haram (forbidden), would feel pain. And this is a great wisdom. For this reason, the scholars said: It is not permissible to stone him with large stones that kill him at the first strike. And it is not permissible for the stoner to aim such that he dies immediately. Rather, the stones are distributed over his body until he dies. So: zina of the muhsan permits, what? His killing, but by stoning.
Third: Liwat (sodomy), may Allah protect us from it. And it is the approach of a male to a male. This is a crime about which the Prophet of Allah, Lut (Lot), said to his people: . The fahisha (shameful deed), he did not say fahisha. The fahisha. And this indicates the magnitude of this fahisha. And it is, by Allah, a major sin greater than zina, may Allah protect us from it. For this reason, Lut rebuked his people and said: . And what is this fitrah (innate natural disposition)? An inverted fitrah. For this reason, he said: meaning: those who go against the fitrah. So if a man commits liwat with a man, and each of them is an adult and not coerced, it is obligatory to kill them, an individual obligation, even if they are not muhsan and even if they are not married. The zani is not stoned unless he has married and consummated the marriage with his wife lawfully. As for liwat, no, this is not a condition in it. The active party and the passive party are killed. And the evidence is: the saying of the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him): . And Shaykh al-Islam Ibn Taymiyyah (may Allah have mercy on him) said in his book al-Saghir (the Small Book) — and its name is: al-Siyasah al-Shar'iyyah fi Islah al-Ra'i wa al-Ra'iyyah (The Shari'ah Policy in Reforming the Ruler and the Ruled) — he said: "The Companions agreed upon the killing of the active party and the passive party. But they differed: some said: they are taken to the highest place in the city and then thrown from it and followed by stones, this is one opinion. The second opinion is: that they are stoned like the zani. The third opinion is: that they are burned with fire". And Abu Bakr (may Allah be pleased with him) and some of the Caliphs did that, because their crime is a great crime, it is not light. So what permits killing, what? Liwat. This is what permits killing. We mentioned, what? Qisas, what? Zina, liwat.
The fourth: Hirabah (armed robbery and brigandage), the fourth: hirabah. What is hirabah? Hirabah is: a group who conspire on the roads, and whoever passes by, they take his money and kill him. These people, Allah the Exalted made clear their punishment in Surat al-Ma'idah, and He said: — He started with killing — . These people must be killed if they killed people, even if the awliya (close friends of Allah) of the killed do not demand the killing. Even if they permit the killing, because they are killed as a deterrent to their corruption. There are also things known to the scholars that we do not lengthen the speech about. It is finished. Is the time finished? And it is known, praise be to Allah, to the fuqaha (jurists) (may Allah have mercy on them) in the book of hudud (the fixed Qur'anic punishments) and in the book of the murtadd (apostate).
And let us now devote ourselves to the questions, because they are many. And perhaps they will touch upon some of what we want. So please proceed.

The questioner : In the name of Allah, the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful.
May Allah reward the honorable Shaykh with the best reward. These are questions about the prayer of the eclipse.
