John Shaqi

"إِنْ كَانَ أَقَرَّ عَلَى نَفْسِهِ فَلاَ يُرَدُّ وَ إِنْ كَانَ شَهِدَ عَلَيْهِ اَلشُّهُودُ يُرَدُّ". وَ قَدْ رُوِيَ: "أَنَّهُ إِنْ كَانَ أَصَابَهُ أَلَمُ اَلْحِجَارَةِ فَلاَ يُرَدُّ وَ إِنْ لَمْ يَكُنْ أَصَابَهُ أَلَمُ اَلْحِجَارَةِ رُدَّ".


Translation

Hadith.5020 - Imam Jafar ibn Muhammad Al-Sadiq (as) was asked about a person sentenced to stoning who attempts to flee. Imam (as) replied: "If the person confessed to the crime himself, he should not be brought back. However, if witnesses testified against him, he must be returned." It has also been narrated: "If the person had already been struck and felt the pain of the stones, he should not be brought back. But if he had not yet felt the pain of the stones, he should be returned."
