Criminal Procedure in the Syariah Courts By Shamrahayu A Aziz

The field of law that governs the administration of criminal justice is known as criminal procedure. It begins with an inquiry and concludes with the accused/convicted individuals being discharged or acquitted, or being found guilty and receiving a sentence and penalty. The goal of the legislation is to guarantee that criminal law is enforced in a proper, fair, and just manner. The notion of Islamic law is similar, with unique norms guiding criminal justice administration. Despite the fact that Islamic criminal process has a substantial foundation and conceptual notions that are backed by primary and secondary sources of Islamic law, it has a shorter history than other departments of law.
