Wanaume na wanawake, Waislamu na wasio Waislamu, walio chini ya mamlaka ya Dola ya Kiislamu, wako chini ya adhabu ya mahakama iwapo itathibitika kuwa wametenda makosa hayo. Hii ni kwa sababu amri za adhabu zilizomo katika Qur'ani au Hadith ni za jumla, na hazibainishi kwamba adhabu hizo zimewekewa kikomo kwa Waislamu tu au kwa wasio Waislamu tu. Kwa mfano, Allah (SWT) anasema: "Na mwizi wa kiume na mwizi wa kike, kateni mikono yao kama malipo ya yale waliyoyachuma." [TMQ 5:38].

Both Muslims and non-Muslims, whether male of female, who are under the authority of the Islamic State are subject to the punishment of the judiciary if they are proven to have committed the crimes. This is because the orders of punishment that appear in the Qur’an or hadith are general and do not specify that the punishments are restricted to Muslims or non-Muslims, e.g. Allah (swt) says, “And as for the male and female thief, cut off their hands as a punishment for what they have done.” [TMQ 5:38].

Zaidi ya hayo, Muhammad ﷺ alitekeleza adhabu za hudud kwa Waislamu pamoja na wasio Waislamu, kama ilivyokuwa katika kisa cha Mayahudi wawili walipofanya zina (uzinzi), na aya ikateremshwa kuhusu wao:

Additionally, Muhammad (saw) administered the punishments of hadud upon the Muslims as well as the non-Muslims, as was the case when two Jews committed zina (fornication), and the ayah was revealed regarding them :

"Mzinifu mwanamume na mzinifu mwanamke, mpigeni kila mmoja wao mijeledi mia moja." [TMQ 24:2].

“The fornicator and the fornicatress, lash each of them one hundred stripes.” [TMQ 24:2].

Ni haramu kumbagua au kumdhulumu mtu yeyote asiyekuwa Muislamu iwapo amefanya uhalifu au ameathiriwa na uhalifu. Hii ni kwa sababu raia wote wa Dola ya Kiislamu ni sawa katika hadhi, na wanahakikishiwa haki zilezile. Muhammad ﷺ alisema: “Yeyote anayemdhuru dhimmi, ni kana kwamba amenidhuru mimi.” Dhimmi ni raia asiyekuwa Muislamu wa Dola ya Kiislamu.

It is forbidden to discriminate against any non-Muslim if they commit or are a victim of a crime. This is because all citizens of the Islamic State are equal in status, and have the same rights guaranteed. Muhammad (saw) said, “Whoever harms a dhimmi, it is as if he harms me.” A dhimmi is a non-Muslim citizen of the Islamic State.

Ni wale tu wanaowajibika kwa matendo yao ndio wanaostahiki adhabu. Muhammad ﷺ alisema: “Kalamu imeinuliwa (kutoka kuandika matendo ya) watu watatu: Majnun (mwenye wazimu) mpaka arudie akili, mtoto mpaka abaleghe, na mtu aliyelala mpaka aamke.”

Only those who are responsible for their actions are subject to punishment. Muhammad (saw) said, “The pen is lifted (from recording the deeds of) three : The majnun (madman) until he becomes sane, the child until he becomes mature and the sleeping person till he awakes.”.

Katika hali zote zilizotajwa katika hadithi, mtu huyo hana dhamana ya matendo yake, kwa kuwa hawezi kutofautisha usahihi au makosa katika matendo yake. Hivyo, hahukumiwi kwa adhabu ambazo mahakama ingezitoa kwa mtu aliyetenda makosa hayo hayo.

In all of the situations mentioned in the hadith, the person is not responsible for his actions, as he is unable to discern the correctness or incorrectness in his actions. Thus, he is not subject to the punishments that the court would normally administer to someone who had committed the same crimes.

Ikiwa uhalifu wowote utafanywa chini ya shinikizo la kulazimishwa, hakutakuwa na dhima ya kisheria ikiwa itathibitishwa kuwa hali ilikuwa hivyo. Muhammad ﷺ alisema, "Umma yangu itasamehewa kwa uhalifu unaofanya chini ya kulazimishwa, kwa kosa, au kwa sababu ya kusahau." Hapa tena, hakutatolewa adhabu yoyote kwa uhalifu unaofanywa katika hali ya akili kama hiyo inayoondoa uwajibikaji wa kitendo cha kijinai.

If any crime is committed under force of duress, there will be no legal liability if it is proved that this was the case. Muhammad (saw) said, “My Ummah will be forgiven for crimes it commits under duress, in error, or as a result of forgetfulness.” Again here, no punishment will be given for crimes committed under such a state of mind as negating responsibility for a criminal act.
