Abstract :
Introduction: The rules and systems of Islamic criminal Fiqh are based on God's mercy and fairness. Punishment is also assigned in light of and based on divine fairness. Therefore, we can justify and explain depenalization based on God's mercy. The depenalization approach goes against the punishment-oriented one. According to legal logic, depenalization is secondary to the existence of punishment; in other words, without the existence of punishment, talking about depenalization is meaningless. Based on this, while decriminalization results in depenalization, this is outside the scope of the technical meaning of depenalization. In Islamic criminal Fiqh, depenalization has a broad concept and scope, such that it includes different measures before the trial and conviction of the defendant. Jurisprudential and legal depenalization requires conditions and mechanisms. The relationship and interaction between these two categories and their mutual impact lead to ambiguities and challenges. In this paper, these ambiguities and challenges are analyzed using a case-based approach on law concerning the reduction of discretionary prison sentences. In the end, the strengths and weaknesses of the above-mentioned law are explained, and recommendations for solving the challenges are offered. Methodology: This study uses the existing academic references, including books and papers related to the topic. The research also gathers data from online databases, websites, reference archives, and digital libraries. A descriptive-analytical method has been used to analyze the collected data. By studying and explaining the foundations of depenalization in Islamic jurisprudence, which is justifiable and can be explained in light of the established attribute of God's mercy and expediency, we attempted to examine its role in statutory law. By studying Islamic jurisprudence and using a case-based approach on law concerning the reduction of discretionary prison sentences, we aimed to examine the existing challenges and explain the solutions to resolve them.
