Does the dealer of narcotics get executed?

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner : You mentioned that the dealer is executed. Is it the dealer or the user?

The Shaykh : If it cannot be deterred except by execution, if people do not stop except by execution, meaning, for example, we imposed a long prison sentence on them but it did not work, we imposed a financial fine but it did not work, and if one man were executed, it would be a greater deterrent to people than if ten men were imprisoned for twenty years.
