The ruling became final after it was appealed and then upheld by the Supreme Court, and a royal order was issued to enforce what was decided according to Sharia law."** **The statement revealed that "the discretionary death sentence was carried out on the offender, Husn bint Mutaib bin Atiq Al-Tuhaimi (Saudi national), on Sunday, 15/3/1447 AH, corresponding to 7/9/2025 AD, in the Makkah region."**
