| Question: capital punishment | |
| Adultery is a great sin in islam that requires a capital punishment of stoning. My question is as follows
For the sin to be forgiven by Allah(SWT) is it necessary for the sinner to surrender himself in an islamic country where rajm is administered to the authorities to be stoned or even if he sincerely repents from the sin, conceals his sin, commits that he will not repeat the sin and does not tell anyone Allah(SWT) will forgive him or he/she has to be punished |

بسم الله الرحمن الرحيم الجواب حامداومصليا Zina (adultery) is a grave sin which has strict conditions. But in today's time the condition of an upright Muslim ruler is not present. Therefore, no Hadd (punishment) will be implemented. Rather sincere Tawba and Istighfar will suffice. (الدرالمختارمع ردالمحتار, كتاب الحدود, ج.4ص.5,سعيد) فيشترط الامام لاستيفاء الحدود (الدرالمختارمع ردالمحتار,كتاب الجنايات,ج.6ص.549,سعيد) قال الله تعالى: قل يعبادي الذين أسرفوا على أنفسهم لاتقنطوامن رحمة الله ان الله يغفرالذنوب جميعا انه هوالغفورالرحيم.
