Correct Answer:
C. Both (a) and (b)
In Islamic criminal law, particularly as adopted in systems like the Pakistan Penal Code, specific terms are used for compensation paid by an offender to the victim or their heirs for harm caused.
- Both (a) and (b) is the correct answer. Arsh refers to compensation for injuries that do not result in death, where Qisas (retribution) is not applicable or has been waived. Daman is compensation for damage to property or minor injuries. Both are forms of financial restitution paid by the offender.
- Arsh alone and Daman alone are incomplete as the question asks for the general term for compensation, and both are relevant forms of compensation.
- None of These is incorrect because option C correctly identifies both terms.
