Islamic Law: Penal Code Definitions

Article 49 protects childrenfrom punishment Addendum 1 provides

definition of children ل15ردان زر

ل9زرزن

Two divisions of punishment : Fixed Punishmentحدود

More generic crimes and a fewreligiously inspired ones

: Retributionص Effectively an ‘eye for an eye’

punishment



: Fixed Punishmentحود Used for crimes that are

“Claims of God”, andtherefore the responsibility of the government to punish

Originally, these had a very stringent system todetermine if Hudud is thecorrect punishment

Includes crimes such as ل رت ودن ال (disputed by some

schools of thought) ارداد (also disputed)



: Fixed Punishmentحود Example Punishments

Capital: /ر وب ردن(Robbery w/ homicide)

Capital: ر (Adultery, etc)

پ/طع ضواز دت (Robbery w/o homicide)

ق در م ,ت روا زدن)Drinking Alcohol)

Requirements for حدودpunishment (or doubleر د رد ات

that in women, but one mustbe male)

Confession must be repeated4 times



: Retributionقاص “Eye for an eye” punishment

Example: A man loses his eyesight from a crime. He may then require that the other lose their eyesight as well.

This style of punishment is a system of weighteddamages

The loss of both eyes is worth a life according to Article

457 of the Islamic Penal Codes



: Retributionقاص This system by no means is fair, however

و تا ف ،ن یدر ت ن یز د ت.اتاز آناوت ر

3 out of 4 Islamic judicial schools teach that the killingof a non-Muslim is not a capital crime

A father or paternal grandfather killing their child is notconsidered a capital crime, either, although this is notafforded to the wife’s side of the family or to the wifeherself.
