The questioner : One person asks, saying, "Is it 'Umar ibn al-Khattab or ibn al-'As? We do not know. He applied the hudud to his son, but before the application of the hudud was completed, the son died... Is this statement correct?"
The Shaykh : This is 'Umar ibn al-Khattab.
The questioner : With whom did he do this?
The Shaykh : With one of his sons.
The questioner : And he completed it after he died, meaning?
The questioner : No. That is a lie. He applied the hudud for drinking intoxicants, then the son became ill and died the death of his Lord.
The questioner : And he did not complete it?
The Shaykh : They completed it on their own. The people completed it on their own.
The questioner : Meaning, by lying.
