Question
Can any form of Islamic punishment, e.g. whipping, be meted out in a non-Muslim country if the guilty person requests?
Answer
Any form of punishment prescribed by the Shariah can be carried out only in an Islamic State, and that too, if the Qaadhi has convicted and sentenced the criminal. Punishments can never be meted out in a non-Muslim state.
