It is often praised that Hazrat Umar Farooq(RA)flogged his son and completed the count even after he had died. I sometimes wonder if it was implementation of law or de-secretion of dead body. Does Islamic law require the punishment to be continued even after death of the accused? Is drinking alcohol punishable by death penalty in Islamic Shariah? I hope someone will be able to throw light on this aspect.
