This is to only be done by the Muslim ruler and not for individuals. It is like when a married man commits adultery. He must be stoned to death. This can’t be implemented by the people or by vigilantes. It must be carried out by the Muslim ruler who has authority over the land and people.

Is there any difference of opinion with regards to the permissibility of killing the one insults Muhammad (salla  Allahu alayhi wasallam) by a normal person like me? I don’t intend to do so. I always thought it was Haram for us and only the ruler can do so. But someone said to me that some scholars have allowed it so I need to make sure.
