Question: Punishments in Saudi Arabia
Assalam Alaikum,

We were having a discussion in our office and my non muslim collegues started discussion on the punishments given to people in Saudi Arabia against their sins/misdeed. According to them, i came to know that there are many Americans who have established their basements in Saudi and also follow their western culture (Consuming Alchohol and engaging in indecent activities) in Saudi which is Haram in Islam. Even then they dont get those punishments that a normal person gets instead for the same offence. How far is this true.

Assalamu Alaikum Warahmatullahi Wabarakatuh

This is not a Fiqhi question and there is no way of establishing what is true.

Wa Alaykumussalaam Wa Rahmatullahi Wa Barakatuh
