Question:
Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success, is it permissible to kill the married fornicator with a sword, or is stoning mandatory?
Answer:
This is a change of the rulings of Allah. It is mandatory to stone him with stones until he dies, and it is not permissible to kill him with a sword, nor would this constitute a hudud punishment.
