The study of criminal law in islamic countries is a way to understand different cultures. It requires, in addition to minimum knowledge of elements of history and geography, an interdisciplinary approach, with particular reference to personal status and constitutional law. The course aims to develop the student’s critical capacity with reference to conceptual categories other than the European legal tradition and to enable the student to clearly present the notions learned by demonstrating that she/he has grasped the complexity of the Islamic penal system.

Programma

The classical rules on crimes and punishments (qisas, hudud, ta’zir);
Colonization and islamic criminal law;
Modern islamic states and the re-islamization of criminal law.
