Islamic perspective on crime and punishment #islamicperspectiveofcrime #islamicpunishments #criminology #hadoodlaws #tazeer #qisas #diyat In this lecture, I will discuss about the Islamic perspective of crime and punishment. These universal principles of Islamic legal injunctions are: 1. The preservation of life. 2. The preservation of religion. 3. The preservation of reason. 4. The preservation of lineage. 5. The preservation of property. The Law has prescribed fixed punishments as follows: Transgression against life (murder or assault). Transgression against property (theft). Transgression against lineage (fornication and false accusations of adultery). Transgression against reason (using intoxicants). Transgression against religion (apostasy). Transgression against all of these universal needs (highway robbery). In accordance with this principle, punishments in Islamic Law are of three types: 1. Prescribed punishments (Hadood Laws) 2. Retribution (Qisas and Diyat) 3. Discretionary punishments ( Tazeer)
