Selected Issues in Islamic Criminal Law

The book Selected Issues in Islamic Criminal Law explores key aspects of Islamic criminal jurisprudence, focusing on the legal provisions related to hudud, qisas, and ta'zir. It addresses a broad range of offenses, including apostasy (al-riddah), rebellion (al-baghyu), banditry (al-hirabah), theft (al-sariqah), fornication (al-zina), false accusation of adultery (al-qadhf), consumption of intoxicants (syurb al-khamr), murder (al-qatl), bodily injury (al-jirahat), and discretionary punishment (al-ta'zir).

Each topic is analyzed through legal explanations grounded in primary Islamic sources, such as the Qur'an and Hadith, and is supplemented by the interpretations of scholars from various schools of Islamic jurisprudence. Furthermore, the book offers a comparative perspective by examining the implementation of Islamic criminal law in the context of Brunei Darussalam.
