پژوهشي فقهي در مسيله قصاص مادر در قتل فرزند

A Legal Research in the Issue of the Retaliated Punishment (Qisas) of a Mother for Murdering her Child

مطابق ديدگاه فريقين و نيز ماده 221 قانون مجازات اسلامي، حكم قصاص در قتل عمد شامل پدري كه فرزندش را به قتل برساند نمي‌شود، اما مادر مطابق ديدگاه مشهور اماميه از اين حكم مستثنا نيست و به خاطر قتل فرزندش قصاص مي‌شود. نويسندگان در اين مقاله ضمن طرح و بررسي فقهي ادله هر دو ديدگاه، استثناي مادر را نيز با توجه به ادله، به نحو قابل توجهي قابل دفاع دانسته اند.

According to the viewpoints of the two major sects (Shia and Sunni) and the article 221 of the Islamic penal law, the verdict of retaliation (qisas) in deliberate murder does not apply to a father who has murdered his child; however, according to the generally accepted view of the Imamiyya, the mother is not excluded from this verdict and is retaliated in qisas for murdering her child. Setting forth and examining the legal evidences of both viewpoints, the writers of this article have to a great extent regarded the exclusion of the mother from this verdict as justified and defendable with respect to the evidences.
