Tazir

In Islamic Law, tazir (ta'zeer or ta'zir, Arabic: تعزير) refers to punishment for offenses at the discretion of the judge (Qadi) or ruler of the state.^[1] It is one of three major types of punishments or sanctions under Sharia Islamic law — hadd, qisas and ta'zir.^[2] The punishments for the Hadd offenses are fixed by the Qur'an or Hadith^[3] (i.e. "defined by God"^[4]), qisas allow equal retaliation in cases of intentional bodily harm, while ta'zir refers to punishments applied to the other offenses for which no punishment is specified in the Qur'an or the Hadith or is not punishable under either qisas or hudud.^[5]^[6]
