Abstract

Sexual crimes subject to hadd in Imami jurisprudence refer to behaviors for which, according to Islamic law, a fixed and specific punishment has been foreseen, which is called "hadd". These crimes have been criminalized according to jurisprudential principles and specific goals, and a special penal system has been considered for them. According to Imami jurisprudential sources, sexual crimes subject to hadd include adultery or illicit sexual intercourse between a man and a woman; sodomy or sexual intercourse between two men; musahiqah or sexual intercourse between two women; and mediation in prostitution. Hadd sexual crimes have a rich history and literature, and in addition to ancient jurisprudential texts, new research has also been conducted on this subject. However, a comprehensive and categorized writing that covers hadd sexual crimes and that, in addition to the individual type, also pays attention to their organized methods, is less common. This article examines haddi sexual crimes from the perspective of Imami jurisprudence, the types of haddi sexual crimes, their punishment, and the different views of Imami jurists on this matter, using a descriptive analytical method and citing library sources.
