The questioner:
What is the ruling on applying some of Allah's hudud in His land while neglecting others, enforcing them on some people and leaving others alone, while Allah's prohibitions are being violated and made permissible, such as singing, the hand drum, image-making, and so on?
The Shaykh:
It is obligatory to apply the entire Shari'ah. If one rules by some of it and not the rest, he has disobeyed in what he neglected; he is a disobedient person in what he neglected and a doer of good in what he ruled upon. It is obligatory for those in authority to rule by Allah's Shari'ah in everything and to focus on it in everything. Whoever rules by some of it and not the rest has done wrong in what he neglected and done good in what he ruled upon. He must repent to Allah, and those who come after him and those who are able to advise him must do so until matters are set right. Yes.

Yes. May Allah accept it from him.
The presenter:
May Allah.
