What If A Judge Makes A Mistake In Giving Capital Punishment?
If a judge made a mistake in giving capital punishment- EG to his full knowledge and all of his evidences and his understanding the man deserved the crime (let’s say it was a murder)- but the man was actually innocent- what would happen to the judge. He has taken a man’s life and he never found out. On the day of judgement would he be held accountable for this since he had infringed upon someone’s life?

So huqooq ul ibaad breaks down here right? Because that philosophy would dictate that a right has been infringed upon and it must be paid for. On the day of judgement (according to huqooq ul ibaad) if the judge made a wrong decision and only found out on qiyamah, then he will have to pay with his good deeds. This doesn’t seem fair so I guess huqooq ul ibaad requires a bit of nuance. Unintentional infringing of rights do not count.
