Hospital staff perspectives on hudud punishment

Abstract EN

Hudud law is a punishment prescribed by Allah s.w.t to be used as a guide to Muslim countries governments in prosecuting cases involving crimes.

in 2015, the government of Kelantan proposed and approved for the implementation of this law and the same intention is also to be implemented by the government of Terengganu.

this issue has raised various negative and positive perceptions among the Malaysian Muslim or non-Muslim.

this study used purposive sampling to investigate the perception of civil servants, especially among hospital staff in Terengganu specifically in its implementation.

this study distributed a total of 200 self-administered questionnaires to hospital staff Hulu Terengganu.

the data analysis employed ibmspss 20 to obtain mean, percentage and frequency to elaborate the findings.

the study found that most of the respondents viewed that Hudud should be implemented with the aim to prevent formidable criminals.

thus, this study also serves to reject the claim that the Hudud law is not relevant for implementation in the future.
