The ruling on one who repents after the hudud (fixed Qur'anic punishments) have been carried out against him
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
The last question from our brother says: A thief wanted to repent from theft after his hand was cut off. Is there an opportunity for repentance?
Answer:
When the thief’s hand is cut off, that serves as his expiation, for the hadd (fixed punishment) is an expiation. So if he does not steal after that, the hadd is his expiation for the theft. And if he repents along with the hadd, it is goodness upon goodness, and purification upon purification. Allah has made the hudud (fixed Qur'anic punishments) expiations. Thus, the one killed by qisas (retaliation in kind) has an expiation, the one killed by stoning for zina (unlawful sexual intercourse) has an expiation, and the one whose hand is cut off for theft has an expiation. Unless he commits another sin after that, in which case he must repent to Allah from it. So if he combines the hadd with repentance to Allah and remorse, it becomes goodness upon goodness, and blessing upon blessing. Yes.
The presenter : May Allah reward you with good.
