Continuation of the discussion on the danger of imitating the disbelievers and mixing with them. ?

In the name of Allah, the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful.
Praise be to Allah, and may peace and blessings be upon the Messenger of Allah. As for what follows, this is one of the tapes from the Al-Huda wa al-Nur series of scholarly lessons and legal rulings by our Shaykh, Muhammad Nasir al-Din al-Albani (may Allah preserve him). We ask Allah to benefit everyone with it. And now, with the second tape after two hundred and one.
We said that his question has two branches. We spoke about the first branch, and the discussion of the other branch remains. We do not call it the second, because the second implies a third, and we do not have a third. (laughs)The Shaykh : (may Allah have mercy on him) So it remains for us to answer regarding the second branch, which is this person who has wronged himself. Is he required to hand himself over to the Shari'ah court so that the hudud punishment he deserves is carried out? The answer is no, it is not obligatory for him to do so, although it is permissible. And we must distinguish between "it is not obligatory" and "it is permissible." This is indicated by a collection of texts, some of which are the guidance of the Messenger (peace and blessings be upon him) to anyone who commits or commits a sin to cover it up and not speak about it, even in the way of establishing the hudud punishment against him. I think you all know the story of Ma'iz (may Allah be pleased with him) and how he came confessing to committing zina, and how he asked the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) to purify him by establishing the hudud punishment against him. So the first time, he came from the right side, and the Messenger (peace and blessings be upon him) turned him away... Applying the previous rule: "Cover yourself." Hide your face from us. He insisted once here, once here, and once here. Then he (peace and blessings be upon him) said to some of his Companions: meaning, look at the taste of his mouth, perhaps the man is drunk, rambling, babbling about what he does not know, there is nothing, the man is normal, all the answers came, yes, yes yes, So these precautions that the Wise Lawgiver legislated on the tongue of His Noble Prophet all indicate that what is required of the one who deserves the hudud is to cover himself. Otherwise, if he wants the hudud to be established against him, then that is, as I said at the beginning of the speech, permissible. A thought came to my mind, I do not know if it is practical or imaginary. I want to say regarding the wrongdoer, if he does not imagine his ability to stand firm on sincere repentance, in this case it is recommended for him to expose himself to the hudud. But if he, after Allah the Exalted, knows what is in his heart, if he is determined to repent and return to his Lord with sincere repentance, then he has absolutely no need to expose himself to the Shari'ah court. This is the answer to the second branch of the question, and with that, the answer to the question ends.
