THE EFFECT OF INTENTION IN CRIMINAL CASES: A COMPARATIVE STUDY IN THE CONTEXT OF BROOM’S LEGAL MAXIMS AND JURISPRUDENCE RULES
Main Article Content
Abstract
The rules of jurisprudence and Broom legal maxims clarify the importance of intention in life. Since the action of intention is involved in all spheres of life, therefore, the jurists and Muhadithin of the Prophet ﷺ begin their books of jurisprudence and hadith with the words "Intentions and Deeds". Accordingly, in this article, the beginning of the maxim, the effect of the maxim of intent was chosen in criminal cases. There is no field of life which is not affected by intention, when any action is started or when any action is done, there is a good or bad intention behind it. And the intention affects the legal consequences of this action.In both Islamic jurisprudence and legal maxims, intention is important and most of the issues are guided by intention. In both the laws, any act has a legal effect when the intention behind the act is proved. And by changing the intention, the legal results also change.
Islamic jurisprudence and the Broom's Legal Maxims in general and in the criminal law in particular, there is a special arrangement for the prevention of all those sources that pave the way for the violation of personal or collective rights. The criminal law has formulated some rules of a special nature that play a key role in the protection of these rights. Among these basic legal principles and rules, one of the rules is related to "intent to affect", which is considered in both Islamic jurisprudence and Western laws, there is an important achievement. In this article, an attempt has been made to briefly but comprehensively discuss Broom’s legal maxims and jurisprudential rules on intent in criminal law.
