The questioner : May Allah reward you with good; regarding the implementation of hudud (fixed Qur'anic punishments), how is the murderer killed? By the sword, by hanging, or by shooting? Because...
The Shaykh : No, no, qisas (retaliation in kind) is only by the sword.
The questioner : I mean, and what about a woman?
The Shaykh : And a woman? And a woman.
The questioner : Because I heard news about the qassas (those who carry out retaliation) who were sentenced by the Muslim Brotherhood.
The Shaykh : And what is it?
The questioner : ... to carry out the hudud (fixed Qur'anic punishments) against them by shooting.
The Shaykh : I do not know, in any case, the hudud (fixed Qur'anic punishments) is by the sword, yes, that is correct.
The questioner : Shaykh...

The Shaykh : It is the well-known hadith regarding prayer, but in my mind from long ago, there is an absolute prohibition as well, but I do not remember it. If that is established, then both cases are acted upon together.
The questioner : Is there evidence?
The Shaykh : How?
