It is punishable offence under any system of law since the history of mankind. In Islamic law &#8216;qisas&#8217; has been prescribed to combat the desire to kill others. &#8220;In &#8216;qisas&#8217; there is life for you&#8221;&#8221;, as mentioned in the Qur&#8217;an is the obvious reason for legalizing this type of punishment. So Islam introduced the law of &#8216;qisas&#8217; in the society to eliminate special type of crime. The maxim &#8220;a life for a life&#8221; stems from the religious principle that all men are equal in the sight of Allah. The life of the murderer will be taken or he will have to pay blood money to the heir or heirs of the murdered by applying the principle of &#8216;qisas&#8217;. It was in terms of these principles that the implementation of &#8216;qisas&#8217; was prescribed, and it should be understood accordingly.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":155,"template":"","meta":{"footnotes":""},"article-category":[37],"class_list":["post-186","journal","type-journal","status-publish","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","article-category-law-journal-1998"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/csg.ru.ac.bd\/lawjournal\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/journal\/186","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/csg.ru.ac.bd\/lawjournal\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/journal"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/csg.ru.ac.bd\/lawjournal\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/journal"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/csg.ru.ac.bd\/lawjournal\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/csg.ru.ac.bd\/lawjournal\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/journal\/186\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":187,"href":"https:\/\/csg.ru.ac.bd\/lawjournal\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/journal\/186\/revisions\/187"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/csg.ru.ac.bd\/lawjournal\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/155"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/csg.ru.ac.bd\/lawjournal\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=186"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"article-category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/csg.ru.ac.bd\/lawjournal\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/article-category?post=186"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
