Karimirad was reacting to a letter by women's rights activists who have called on the head of Iran's judiciary to end the Islamic practice of stoning convicted adulterers to death.
Activists have said that a man and a woman were stoned to death in May despite a moratorium on the practice, and several others face stoning sentences.
Karimirad said some courts might have issued stoning sentences but that the sentences have subsequently been commuted.
