"hakuna anayeadhibu kwa moto isipokuwa Mola wa moto." Kwa hiyo, ikiwa mshtakiwa alipelekwa mbele ya hakimu mwenye mamlaka katika mahakama ya sheria na ikathibitika kwamba alitenda kosa aliloshtakiwa nalo, hapaswi kuadhibiwa kwa moto, wala kwa kitu kinachofanana nao, kama umeme, wala kwa chochote kingine ambacho Allah (swt) huadhibu nacho. Zaidi ya hayo, ni haramu kutoa adhabu yoyote miongoni mwa zile ambazo Mtunga Sheria (swt) hakuziamuru. Hii ni kwa sababu Mtunga Sheria (swt) ameweka adhabu zitakazotolewa kwa wenye makosa, nazo ni kuua, kuchapwa, kupigwa mawe, uhamisho, kukatwa, kufungwa gerezani, kuharibu mali, kutozwa faini, kudhalilishwa na kutiwa alama ya moto kwenye sehemu yoyote ya mwili. Zaidi ya hizi, ni haramu kumwadhibu mtu aina nyingine yoyote ya adhabu. Kwa hiyo, hakuna mtu anayepaswa kuadhibiwa kwa kuchomwa moto, ingawa inaruhusiwa kuchoma mali yake, wala mtu asiadhibiwe kwa kung'olewa kucha, wala kwa kung'olewa nyusi, wala kwa kushtuliwa kwa umeme, wala kwa kuzamishwa majini, wala kwa kumwagiwa maji baridi, wala kwa kumnyima chakula, wala kwa kumwacha akiwa baridi, wala kwa chochote kinachofanana na hayo. Kumwadhibu mshtakiwa kunapaswa kukomea kwenye adhabu zilizoamriwa na Shari'ah, na mtawala amekatazwa kutumia aina nyingine yoyote ya adhabu isipokuwa hizi. Kwa hiyo, ni haramu kabisa kumtesa mtu yeyote, na yeyote atakayefanya hivyo atakuwa amevunja Shari'ah. Ikithibitika kwamba mtu amemtesa mwingine, ataadhibiwa. Haya ndiyo ushahidi wa kifungu hiki.
“for no one punishes with fire except the Lord of the fire”. Therefore, if the accused was brought before a competent judge in a court of law and shown to have committed the crime he was accused of, he should not be punished by fire, nor by that which is similar to it, such as electricity and nor by anything else which Allah (swt) punishes with. Furthermore, it is forbidden to inflict any punishment from among those not decreed by the Legislator (swt). This is so because the Legislator (swt) has determined the punishments to be imposed upon the guilty parties, and these are killing, lashing, stoning, exile, cutting, and imprisonment, destruction of property, imposing a fine, vilification and branding any part of the body. Apart from these, it is forbidden to inflict any other type of punishment upon anyone. Hence, no one should be punished by burning with fire, though it is permitted to burn his property, and nor should anyone be punished by pulling his nails, nor by pulling his eyebrows, nor by electrocution, nor by drowning, nor by pouring cold water over him, nor by starving him, nor by letting him go cold and nor by anything similar. Punishing the accused should be confined to the penalties decreed by the Shari’ah and the ruler is forbidden from applying any other form of punishment apart from these. Therefore, it is absolutely forbidden to torture anyone, and whoever does so will be violating the Shari’ah. If it is established that someone has tortured anyone else, he will be punished. These are the evidences of this article.
