This Article maps the criminal law system in Saudi Arabia. Saudi Arabia enacted a criminal procedure code in 2001, but it lacks a comprehensive penal code, relying instead on (i) identifications of certain acts as violations of the law (from public behavior to matters of the state administrative cogwheel) scattered in various pieces of legislation and (ii) the classical Islamic legal tradition’s classification forming a criminal Islamic common law which is organized into (a) “set punishment” prescribed crimes (hadd, plural hudud), (b) crimes left to the court’s discretion (ta‘zir), and (c) two other forms of “violations of the body” with their own legal regime (qisas/retaliation and diya/blood money). The Article is based on extensive case law released by the Saudi Ministry of Justice.

映射沙特刑法

本文描绘了沙特阿拉伯的刑法体系。沙特阿拉伯于 2001 年颁布了刑事诉讼法，但缺乏全面的刑法，取而代之的是 (i) 将分散在各个领域的某些行为（从公共行为到国家行政事务）认定为违法行为。立法和 (ii) 古典伊斯兰法律传统的分类形成了刑事伊斯兰普通法，它被组织为 (a) “设定惩罚”规定的罪行（hadd，复数 hudud），(b) 留给法院自由裁量权的罪行（ta'zir )，以及 (c) 其他两种形式的“侵犯身体”，有自己的法律制度（qisas/retaliation 和 diya/blood money）。该文章基于沙特司法部发布的大量判例法。
