Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
He says: Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success. Do Muslims residing in the lands of disbelievers have the right to enforce the hudud if they have an Islamic center to which they can turn? Or is the enforcement of the hudud the responsibility of the head of the disbeliever state? Is that their reference? Does this center take on this responsibility? If they have a center with a trusted head who acts in the capacity of the authority in the lands of the Muslims.

Answer:
Yes.
