If a kaafir commits zinaa (unlawful sexual intercourse) then he
becomes Muslim, should the hadd punishment be carried out on him?
Praise be to Allaah.
If a dhimmi (Jew or Christian living under the protection of the
Islamic state) commits zinaa then becomes Muslim, and there is
evidence to prove that he did commit zinaa, the hadd punishment is no
longer to be applied to him; he should not be punished by either hadd
(punishment specified in sharee'ah) or ta'zeer (punishment to be
specified by the qaadi or Muslim judge in a particular case). This was
the view of al-Shaafa'i, based on the aayah (interpretation of the
meaning):
"Say to those who have disbelieved, if they cease (from disbelief),
their past will be forgiven" (al-Anfaal 8:38).
He also quoted as evidence the hadeeth of the Prophet (peace and
blessings of Allaah be upon him):
"Islam wipes out whatever came before it." (Narrated by Muslim from
'Amr ibn al-'Aas).
The Qur'aan also states that the punishment for a thief or bandit is
no longer applicable if they repent, so this reprieve is more
applicable in the case of a kaafir (who becomes Muslim). Moreover,
enforcing the punishment would put people off Islam. This is the same
reason which is given by scholars for stating that a person who enters
Islam does not have to make up the prayers that he has missed. And
Allaah knows best.

*- WHAT ISLAM SAYS -*
-
Islam is a religion of Mercy, Peace and Blessing. Its teachings emphasize kind hear tedness, help, sympathy, forgiveness, sacrifice, love and care.Qur’an, the Shari’ah and the life of our beloved Prophet (SAW) mirrors this attribute, and it should be reflected in the conduct of a Momin.Islam appreciates those who are kind to their fellow being,and dislikes them who are hard hearted, curt, and hypocrite.Recall that historical moment, when Prophet (SAW) entered Makkah as a conqueror. There was before him a multitude of surrendered enemies, former oppressors and persecutors, who had evicted the Muslims from their homes, deprived them of their belongings, humiliated and intimidated Prophet (SAW) hatched schemes for his murder and tortured and killed his companions. But Prophet (SAW) displayed his usual magnanimity, generosity, and kind heartedness by forgiving all of them and declaring general amnesty...Subhanallah. May Allah help us tailor our life according to the teachings of Islam. (Aameen)./-
