Crime of " Baghi" in the Islamic Jurisprudence and the Law of Iran

About the definition of Baghi (punk) and its rules, scholars (jurists) of Islam have agreed in many cases. Most of the Imamate followers jurists believe that Baghi means turning against a just Imam and it requires some conditions; such as the Baghi person has to be a Muslim, he has to turn against the just Imam, there should be a group of them, reason for them turning against has to be a doubt, they have to be organized and have some sort of an organization. If these conditions are met, then the Imam and the Muslims have to fight against them; but before the battle, one person has to be send to them to enlighten them and solve their doubts. In the case of failure, they have to fight with them until they get dispersed and if they have some units behind the battlefield, captives and injured ones from them have to be killed and the fugitives have to be chased. In any condition, their women, children and properties which are outside of their army camp will be unharmed and left alone.Even though the term “Baghi” has not entered the statutory law, but most of its examples such as charged with subversion and … have been noticed at the Republic Islamic of Iran’s criminal law. Yet the Iranian legislator due to unknown reasons considers them as examples of “Moharebeh” (war).
