There are two types of punishments:

(a)
Hadd is that punishment whose limit has been prescribed by the Shari‘ah, for example:
The punishment for murder is qisas (retaliation), or the punishment for slander (qadhf) is eighty lashes.
It is not permissible to increase or decrease this.

(b)
Ta‘zir is that punishment whose amount has not been fixed; rather, the judge or ruler can give a suitable amount of punishment according to the situation or the severity of the crime, whether in the form of lashes, imprisonment, or a fine.

➌
If ta‘zir is in the form of lashes, then this is the prescribed limit for it; however, in the case of a severe crime, other ta‘zir punishments such as imprisonment or fines, etc., can be added.
