Committing zina
Question
If someone commits zina and then feels bad and wants to offer tauba and istighfaar with this hope that Allah Ta'ala will forgive him, but after tauba should he present himself before law authorities for Islamic punishment i.e sangsaar or not?
Answer
He does not have to offer himself.
And Allah Ta'ala (الله تعالى) knows best.

Fatawa SA is an independent, read-only index of fatawa already published by Mufti Online — Madrasah Ta'leemuddeen. It is not a fatwa service. For your own situation, ask the issuing Darul Ifta directly.
