After the Islamic Court of the Islamic Province of Banaadir investigated the forwarded case, the four were found guilty and the court ruled the following:
1)Each will be flogged 100 times
2)Each will pay the according dower to the girl
3)Each will pay the indemnity for the girl losing her virginity
4)Each will be exiled from Mogadishu for a period of one year.
The implementation of the Hudood was witnessed by a large number of people, reporters, and officials of the Shabab Movement.
In the forefront was the governor of the Islamic Province of Banaadir, Sheikh Ali Muhammad Husein, who briefly addressed the gathering, congratulating them with the victory Allah granted the Muslim Somali people. He also reminded them that only yesterday, this place of gathering was near a military base of the Ethiopian Crusaders, while today it is in the hands of the Mujahidoon. He called on the people to stand by the Mujahidoon in their implementation of Islamic law and establishment of peace and security.
Some tribal elders of Mogadishu also addressed the crowd, stressing their public and private support of the Mujahidoon in their efforts in implementing Islamic Law, solving disputes, and judging people with Heavenly Justice.
The Qadi (Judge), Abdul-Haq, then pronounced the ruling, and five of the Hisbah Force implemented the flogging.
