What is the minimum number of people required to witness the execution of a punishment?

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner : What is the minimum number of people required to witness the execution of a punishment?

The Shaykh : As for the school of thought, one man is sufficient, but the correct view is that three or more are required.

The questioner : If the punishment is carried out at the police station, is this considered a group?

The Shaykh : Yes, a group, yes, it is called a group.

The questioner : But are these the ones carrying out the work?

The Shaykh : They themselves are deterred, without a doubt, but as we said, if it is done in the marketplace, that is preferable.
