Resumen de The Jurisprudential Challenges of Accessory and Complementary Punishments

Mohammad Javad Heidari, Mohammad Nozari Ferdosieh, Mohammed Mahdi

• The terms, types, instances, and extent for exercise of accessory and complementary punishments have been provided in articles 23-26 of 2013 Islamic Panel Code of Iran. Unlike former provisions, the 2013 IPCI has extended the scope of exercise of complementary punishments to Hudud and Qisaas as well. Given that both Hudud and Qisaas have been fixed by Shariah law, the exercise of the accessory and complementary punishments over those who commit Hudud and Qisaas appears to have been inconsistent with the Shariah and Islamic jurisprudence. Since applicable punishments in Islamic law fall only within four categories namely Hudud, Qisaas, Diyat, and Ta'ziraat, the position of former punishments is necessary to be examined from the perspective of jurisprudential texts and Islamic law sources.
