Abstract

Although according to Article 136 of the Islamic Penal Code, only the repetition of Hudud in the fourth instance leads to the death penalty, certain Imami jurists contend that the usurer may face Ta'zir retribution in the initial and secondary instances, followed by the death penalty in the third instance. This theory is mainly based on the hadith of AbūBaṣīr, according to which the usurer is killed after being punished twice. Given the significance of blood in the Sharia, this article has evaluated the hadith by adopting a descriptive-analytical method and examining other documents. The conclusion indicates that, regardless of the weakness of the chain of transmission, In terms of implication, adherence to the hadith is associated with drawbacks such as expanding bloodshed, conflicting hadiths, and contradiction with the rule of Dar', and cannot withstand confrontation with the generalities and primary rules regarding the inviolability of human blood.
