المقاصد الشرعية للعقوبات البدنية

Abstract EN

It is the wisdom of Allah, the All-Aware, the All-Wise, that he has prescribed for us, punishments (alhudud), and retribution as punishments for some sins that have a far reaching danger on the person and the community.

These punishments most of the time are placed sins that threaten one of the five necessities that Islam preserves, the religion, the self, the mind, the honor, the money.

These punishments are warnings for the criminals.

Moreover, they help create security and peace among Muslims, and discipline the person, the family and the society at large.
