Question:
Is it permissible to punish a man or woman who commits unlawful sexual intercourse with a punishment other than the prescribed limit?
Answer:
Answer: We ask Allah for well-being. It is obligatory to apply the prescribed limit, and the limits must not be suspended. The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said to Habib and the son of Habib: “Are you interceding in a limit from the limits of Allah the Exalted? By Allah, if Fatimah, the daughter of Muhammad, had stolen, I would have cut off her hand.” Therefore, the limits must not be suspended.
