القصد في القتل العمد : دراسة فقهية

Abstract EN

In Islamic law, the apparent intent of a person who commits a capital offense is taken in to consideration by jurists who determine appropriate punishments.

Although intent is a non-tangible state which is not directly observable by other parties, Islamic jurists have mentioned and discussed indications of intent, such as the usage of a deadly weapon.

Since both premeditated murder and manslaughter often involve the usage of deadly weapons, jurists have focused on defining the concept of intent in killing, or the ence thereof when differentiating between them and judging accordingly.

The goal of this study is to explore various opinions of Islamic jurists on the subject of indications of intent in capital crimes and their impact on Islamic jurisprudence as well as determine which opinions are in greater accordance with Islamic texts and jurisprudential philosophy.
