Types of ta'zir punishment
Ta'zir punishments may be classified as follows:
Enforcement
Punishment are of two types. The first is to neglect or omit duties when one is able to fulfil them, such as the repayment of debts, delivering things held in trust to their rightful owners, safeguarding the property of orphans and delivering these when the orphans come of age. Any of these may be punished by Ta'zir until the person concerned does his duty.
Discretionary punishments
Ta'zir refers to ‘punishment for any act of disobedience to Allah which does not carry a mandatory punishment or require a particular recompense.’
Theft
Theft is forbidden because it is an aggression on other people’s rights and taking their property unlawfully.
The punishment for drinking intoxicants
The punishment for drinking intoxicants is 40 lashes, but it may be increased to 80 if the Muslim ruler determines that such an increase is needed to make the punishment a more effective deterrent.
Punishment for false accusation
Allah has determined that the punishment for anyone who accuses a Muslim of adultery, without providing the necessary proof, is 80 lashes. Furthermore, the accuser is considered a fasiq, i.e. ‘transgressor’ and he is totally disqualified as a witness in any case whatsoever. This shows how grave this sin is…
The crime of false accusation of adultery
It is absolutely forbidden to accuse anyone of immoral and lewd action. Allah says: ‘Those who accuse chaste women who may have been unthinkingly careless but remained true believers, shall be rejected by Allah in this world as well as in the life to come. They shall endure awesome suffering’ (24: 23).
Proof of Adultery
Before the punishment for adultery is enforced, the crime must first be proven to have occurred.
The mandatory punishment for Adultery
An adulterer can be either a muhsan or non-muhsan. The mandatory punishment for a muhsan is different than that of a non-muhsan.
Adultery
Zina stands for both fornication and adultery; it refers to sexual intercourse between man and woman when there is no legitimate marital relationship, real or imagined, between them.
Mandatory Punishments (Hudud)
The Arabic term hadd (plural: hudud) is defined as a punishment stated in Islamic law for encroaching on the limits set by Allah. The hudud aim to deter people from committing acts of disobedience of Allah. Thus, they help to spread security and reassurance in the community.
