Hudud Laws

Hudud laws are Islamic legal punishments prescribed by the Quran and Hadith for specific serious offenses, such as theft, adultery, alcohol consumption, and apostasy. These laws outline fixed penalties, like amputation or stoning, intended to serve as deterrents and uphold societal morals. Implementation varies across countries, often influenced by legal, cultural, and contextual factors. Hudud laws are part of Shariah, Islamic law, and are subject to debate regarding their application, fairness, and human rights considerations within diverse legal systems.
