What is the legal ruling regarding a 56-year-old religious man who attempted to rape his minor daughters, offered them money in exchange, and left pornographic channels accessible to them to achieve his aims? Is it permissible for those who know about this, such as the wife or relatives, to carry out the حد (Hadd punishment) on him in a non-Islamic country? And is it permissible for the wife to put poison in his food to protect her daughters?
This heinous crime—a father committing adultery with his daughter—is punishable by death by stoning until death, if it is proven with its conditions. This punishment is only carried out by the ruler (wali al-amr). The wife and anyone else aware of the matter should advise him and instill in him the fear of Allah.
