The right of causing death of a convict if he has committed qatl-i-amd is called

A. Qisas
B. Tazir
C. Daman
D. None of These
Correct Answer: A. Qisas

In Islamic criminal law, specific terms are used for different types of punishments and rights related to offenses, particularly homicide.

  • Option A: Qisas is the correct answer. 'Qisas' refers to the law of retribution, where the victim's family has the right to demand an equivalent punishment for certain crimes, most notably 'Qatl-i-amd' (intentional homicide). This can include the death penalty for the perpetrator.
  • Option B: Tazir refers to discretionary punishments imposed by the state for offenses not covered by 'Hudud' (fixed punishments) or 'Qisas.' It is not the specific right of retribution for intentional homicide.
  • Option C: Daman is not a recognized term for this specific right in Islamic criminal law; it typically refers to a guarantee or surety in other contexts.

Thus, 'Qisas' is the precise term for the right of causing death of a convict for intentional homicide.
