Punishing with fire is forbidden
Hadith 1250
- " إن أنتم قدرتم عليه فاقتلوه ولا تحرقوه بالنار، فإنما يعذب بالنار رب النار ".
It is narrated from Sayyiduna Hamzah Aslami (may Allah be pleased with him) that the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "If you gain power over (such and such man from the tribe of 'Uzrah), then kill him, but do not burn him with fire, for only the Creator of fire can punish with fire."
