Legitimate defence in the criminal law of Iran and Islam
Dr Ebrahim Ghodsi
Legitimate defence was enacted in the Iranian Penal Code in 1991 and 1996 and covers defence of life, dignity, family, freedom and property of the person or another. Legitimate defence is differently addressed by Shiite and Sunnite jurists in Islamic literature. Attack and defence have their own conditions in the Iranian and Islamic Penal Codes. These conditions are evaluated and discussed in this article.
