Explanation of Article 142

This article addresses the provisions for compensation for harm inflicted on the person or lesser injuries (such as to the limbs). It stipulates that the amount of compensation for the injury itself is determined according to the provisions of the estimated guarantee in Islamic law concerning offenses against the person or lesser injuries. This means that compensation in these cases is not subject to the absolute discretion of the judge but is bound by the specific or estimated amounts stipulated in Islamic law.

Article 142

If the harm results in death or bodily harm, the amount of compensation shall be determined pursuant to the provisions of liability as determined by Sharia in crimes resulting in death or bodily harm.
