in many kitabs i have read where the amir or khalifa refuses to take testimony on adultery,they ask the matter to be kept between the accused and allah s.w.t. also in a book by shaykh hakeem akhtar saheb d.b. this is the extremist problem the aim is not the rajm,the aim is deterrent and many so called shariah microstates are just not on shariah i have even read that most ironically the first people to be taken to task by imam mahdi will be these people who think they rule by shariah but in reality are ruling in love of power ,macro or micro level AND ALLAH KNOWS BEST
