The punishments in Islamic jurisprudence, known as the huduud حدود, include acts such as whipping, crucifixion, amputation, and execution. These punishments are meted out both for capital crimes such as rape and murder, but also for crimes against the holy will of Allah such as fornication, drinking alcohol, stealing, blasphemy, and homosexuality.

If that is done by a Muslim then it is apostasy on his part, and '''the authorities have to defend the cause of Allaah and His Messenger (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) by executing the one who defamed him'''. If the one who defamed him repents openly and is sincere, that will benefit him before Allaah, although his repentance does not waive the punishment for defaming the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him), which is execution. If the person who defames him is a non-Muslim living under a treaty with the Muslim state, then this is a violation of the treaty and he must be executed, but that should be left to the authorities. If a Muslim hears a Christian or anyone else defaming the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) he has to denounce him in strong terms. It is permissible to insult that person because he is the one who started it. How can we not stand up the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him)? '''It is also obligatory to report him to the authorities who can carry out the punishment on him. If there is no one who can carry out the hadd punishment of Allaah and stand up for the Messenger (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) then the Muslim has to do whatever he can''', so long as that will not lead to further mischief and harm against other people.}}
