Shadee Elmasry – The 9 Hudud Crimes and Punishments Explained

What are the Hadoop punishments? And do they still apply today?

Well the answer is in, in theory, all of the Sharia applies until

the end of time in terms of the hokum the belief about the

application, ALLAH SubhanA wa Tada said the Prophet sallallahu alayhi

wa sallam was sent to all people. So people today are part of all

people. The question is up to the ruler or up to the people, how

they're going to apply it, when they're going to apply it. That's

really up to the people, but it is an obligation at all times. So

what are the dude? First of all, punishment in Islam is for two

things in general, public sinning and the oppression of people and

the method of the punishment is in two different ways. One is called

Hadoop and one is called Tassie. And as for Hadoop, it's what Allah

subhanaw taala said explicitly and listed in the Quran and as for

Tassie, it's the discretionary punishment of the ruler of the

government they're the ones who decide to the ruler can decide or

his shoulder can decide his Senate that could decide what should be

the right punishment for this. The head crimes are nine murder,

injury, rebellion, apostasy fornication false accusation of

Zina robbery and it has conditions terrorizing the public any

terrorizing in public publicly drinking alcohol there are three

here if you notice there are victims here murder of course,

injury of course and set it I was robbed in mind what my well, so

the body and the well there are victims here, in this case, two of

these have a victim, the one who was robbed and the one who was

injured one of them has inheritors of victims. This is called in

today's parlance, restitution of justice. In other words, it's

justice in which the victims are involved and the victims are they

have a choice in what happens it's not that the way the system is

today where the criminal is taken to court and the victim is just

sitting in the back of the courtroom watching if the criminal

is found guilty, then we bring that victim up and say you're part

of now the punishment so you can do three things you can forgive

him altogether can ask for the blood money and you can not accept

any of that and insist on kiss us. So in the case of injury and

robbery, the victim of the of this crime has the choice by himself.

But in the case of murder, the inheritors have this choice, or

every one of them has the choice. Now of course you can't have a

partial execution. So if one of them says that I want the blood

money or I forgive then immediately it downgrades to

either to either blood money or forgiveness, the restitution or

justice is in three ways either kiss us I want to see him punished

or dia I'll take the blood money instead or Apple complete

forgiveness and it's up to the victims. Now we ask the question,

what are the actual sauce so for murder, if it's proven its

execution, if it's injury, its eye for an eye and the murder and the

eye for an eye this happens exactly how he did it provided

that there's no torture involved. Number three rebellion the

punishment of rebels is execution. The punishment for apostasy is

execution after three days chance to repent the punishment for Zina

fornication and adultery if the person was not married, then it's

100 lashes and one year imprisonment in the medical school

number six, falsely accusing somebody of Zina at lashes

robbery. It's not any old robbery, theft. I mean, it's robbery that

means you broke a lock, you sold something at a certain value and

you left with it. So for that you lose your hand, you're going to

lose your hand for for herrada its execution or banishment and the

ruler may not forgive this because this is its public. What is an

example of someone terrorizing the public who robber like someone

opening up, let's say in a abandoned road or a road that

where the police don't go oftentimes they go set up shop

there. And as you're walking past, they come in the old days a gang

and they take all your stuff, you're terrorizing the people in

public. And then number nine showed up at a club that is at

lashes and that's based upon Satana Ali was asked by sitting on

Mount about this and he said when someone drinks they say things

that are that could be he could say cut so as an added cut, it's

at lashes based upon that now the compensation what is the

compensation it's 1000 dinars of gold and the dinar at the time of

the Prophet peace be upon him was 4.25 grams of gold with

differences of opinion on this just to let you know, you may hear

a different number but the majority number that said is that

the dinar of the time of the messenger sallallahu alayhi wa

sallam was 4.25 grams of gold. So that makes the blood money of the

human body to be 4250 grams of gold What is today 4250 grams of

gold worth. So that's the full day of the body but there are other

body parts that are so important that they're worth the whole deal.

For example, you lose your intellect any of your senses

smell, taste, sight, speech, hearing, the ability to have *,

the ability to have offspring, the ability to sit down the ability to

stand up at one eye if someone was only had one eye to see their

blind in the left eye and you poked out the right eye entire

deal. Now after these nine crimes, there are many other crimes people

do in the world in society. What about them for that? We said

there's Tassie, Tassie, it is discretionary punishment by the

ruler or his shooter or the government and what is he allowed

to do? He's allowed to imprison the person and amount of time that

would make him change his ways. He's not allowed to give put him

in jail for life just like that. The way we do here. If you want to

talk about cooling on you

usual punishment that's extremely cruel and unusual punishment. Ask

any person you committed a crime and you want to just get flogged

and go home to your wife and your kids. Yeah, he may be a criminal,

but me, he may be like American Gangster, he's good to his family.

There are many criminals, many mafiosos they're bad people, they

commit crimes. They're bad people for the society, but they're good

to their family. So why are you going to deny someone a father? Do

you know that there was a statistic the other day that was

stated that if you were to reduce or remove legitimacy from the

crime statistics, it would go down by like two thirds most criminals,

they're illegitimate. They have no dads. So if you're putting all the

dads in jail, you're actually producing more criminals, you

start to wonder maybe that's what you guys intended. So he is

allowed to imprison him for a time that would change his behavior.

Another thing is that he's allowed to publicly condemn him. Okay, the

next one he's allowed to do Is he allowed to flog you any amount of

floggings as opposed to the other mega hit that you can't pass 40

The next one is if you're harming people, he's allowed to force you

to sell your house and move if you're a nuisance to the

neighborhood. He's allowed to execute you to drug dealers for

example, like the guy all the way at the top Do you know how many

lives this guy ruins execution is on the table but what May he not

do? He may not take your money, we can't find people for things that

unless there is a direct permission in the city to find

that person. Okay, let's talk about the nature of the floggings

lashes are with a leather strap that may not break the skin or

break the bones cannot do either one and the hitting should not be

light and should not be hard and should be between the shoulder

blades on the back of the person and he shouldn't wear a heavy

garment that would block the strikes nor should he be naked,

shirtless. I mean he should be sitting down and he should not be

wrapped up. He shouldn't be tied up or handcuffed or anything like

that. And he gets this strike sitting down. You're not allowed

to use both joints, the elbow and the shoulder. So you could flog

like this or you can flog like this there's no roundabout as if

you're like an Olympic thrower and the punishment should be witnessed

by the public punishments are meant to be to scare people off
