The Book of Wounds (Kitab al-Jirah)

Meaning the Book of Criminal Offenses (Jinayat). He referred to them as "wounds" due to the prevalence of their occurrence through them. A crime (jinayah) is every act of aggression against a life or property. However, in custom, it is specific to that in which aggression occurs against bodies. They named crimes against property as usurpation (ghasb), plunder (nahb), theft (sariqah), betrayal (khiyanah), and destruction (itlaf).

Section: The Muslims are in consensus regarding the prohibition of killing without right. The basis for this is the Book, the Sunnah, and consensus. As for the Book, it is the saying of Allah the Exalted: "And do not kill the soul which Allah has forbidden, except by right. And whoever is killed unjustly, We have given his heir authority." And He said: "It is not for a believer to kill a believer except by mistake." And He said: "And whoever kills a believer intentionally, his recompense is Hell," to the end of the verse. As for the Sunnah, Abdullah ibn Mas'ud narrated that the Messenger of Allah (peace be upon him) said: "The blood of a Muslim man who testifies that there is no god but Allah and that I am the Messenger of Allah is not lawful except for one of three reasons: the married adulterer, a life for a life, and the one who leaves his religion and separates from the community." Agreed upon. Uthman and Aisha also narrated similar accounts from the Prophet (peace be upon him) in many verses and reports other than these. There is no disagreement among the Ummah regarding its prohibition. If a person does so intentionally, he becomes a transgressor (fasiq), and his affair is with Allah; if He wills, He will punish him, and if He wills, He will forgive him. His repentance is accepted according to the majority of scholars. Ibn Abbas said: His repentance is not accepted, based on the verse we mentioned, which is among the last that were revealed. Ibn Abbas said: Nothing has abrogated it.
