The Criminal Code of Afghanistan was enacted in 1387 with 916 articles. The enactment of this code led to the annulment of previous criminal law code. The role of the Islamic Jurisprudence is clearly visible in this code. Crimes in the new penal code are divided into two parts- Tazir crimes and determinate crimes (these crimes are being discussed in full details below). The third article mentioned that determinate crimes such as Hudud and Qisas and Diyat shall be dealt with on the basis of Islamic Sharia, Hanafi School. And punishments for Tazir crimes have been specified in a manner, where there is maximum and minimum limit for judges to decide between. Moreover, the specified punishments in this law for Tazir crimes, in general, are in agreement with Islamic Sharia, which I will discuss in details. Finally, we have reached the conclusion that the criminal code does not contradict Islamic Sharia.
