In Islamic law, the death penalty is regarded as the essence of the Islamic penal system, and consequently to abolish it would be offensive to the feelings of Muslims, especially in view of the fact that the justification for the continued use of this penalty is that it deters a person who is thinking of committing a capital crime from actually committing it.
En droit islamique, la peine de mort est considérée comme le pivot du système pénal islamique, et les musulmans ne sauraient admettre qu'on l'abolisse, eu égard essentiellement à son rôle dissuasif.
