There is talk to define the parameters of presidential immunity to the neglect of Islamic provisions in the historical perspective of pristine Islamic values. We are involved in discussing the “Foujdari” and “Divani” modes of immunity. The Holy Prophet (PBUH) said, when presented with the case of a woman thief of a leading tribe to be pardoned, that previous generations had perished due to pardoning their rich people who stole and punished the poor thieves. He further said that he would punish even his daughter if she committed a theft. This is as far as a “Divani” or a civil case is concerned.
In another case, the Holy Prophet (PBUH) offered himself for compensation if he had ever physically injured someone. A person said that one time the Holy Prophet (PBUH) had lightly poked a stick in his side to stand in a straight line. The Holy Prophet (PBUH) offered for the man to take his revenge. The man said that he had no shirt on his back. So the Holy Prophet (PBUH) bared his back upon which the man concerned kissed the prophetic seal between the shoulders of the Holy Prophet (PBUH). This was the lack of immunity in a “Foujdari” or criminal case”.
So where is the immunity in Islam for us mortals, including the president of Pakistan? This is a question that should haunt the people at large.
