犯罪分为三个部门：Hudud，Tazir和Qisas。哈杜德的罪行是上帝谴责的罪行。惩罚是在古兰经中知道的。塔齐（Tazir）的罪行被授予确定惩罚的适当权力。 QISA的罪行赋予了受害者的报复权。
(Crimes are classified into three divisions: Hudud, Tazir, and Qisas. Crimes of Hudud are crimes that are denounced by God; the punishment is made known in the Koran. Crimes of Tazir are given to the appropriate authority to determine punishment. Crimes of Qisas give the victim the right to retaliate.)
