Tazir

Tazir refers to discretionary punishments in Islamic law applied by a judge for offenses not strictly defined by clear rules, such as corruption or disobedience. Unlike hudood punishments, which have fixed penalties, tazir allows judges flexibility to determine appropriate responses based on the circumstances, severity, and context of the misconduct. It covers a wide range of misconduct not explicitly specified in religious texts, enabling the legal system to address unique or evolving societal issues while maintaining justice and moral order.
