تنفيذ حكم القتل قصاصاً بأحد الجناة في منطقة مكة المكرمة

The Ministry of Interior issued a statement today (Wednesday) regarding the implementation of the death penalty as retribution against one of the perpetrators in the Makkah region, the text of which is as follows:

Allah, the Almighty, said (O you who have believed, prescribed for you is legal retribution for those murdered), and He also said (And there is for you in legal retribution a saving of life, O you who have understanding, that you may become righteous).

Ziyad Walid Muhammad Abdullah Haidrah (of Yemeni nationality) committed the murder of Naseem Muhammad Muhammad Radman Qaid (also of Yemeni nationality) by striking him with a sharp object on the head, which led to his death due to a dispute between them.

By the grace of Allah, the security authorities were able to arrest the mentioned perpetrator, and the investigation with him resulted in charges being brought against him for committing the crime. He was referred to the competent court, which issued a ruling confirming the charges against him and sentenced him to death as retribution. The ruling became final after being appealed and subsequently upheld by the Supreme Court, and a royal order was issued to enforce what was legally decided.

The death penalty was carried out against the perpetrator Ziyad Walid Muhammad Abdullah Haidrah (of Yemeni nationality) on Wednesday, 20/3/1448 AH, corresponding to 2/9/2026 AD, in the Makkah region.

The Ministry of Interior announces this to affirm to everyone the commitment of the Government of the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia to maintain security, achieve justice, and implement the rulings of Islamic law against anyone who transgresses against the safe, sheds their blood, and violates their right to life. At the same time, it warns anyone who may contemplate such actions that the legal punishment will be their fate.

And Allah is the guide to the straight path.
