Abstract
Procurement [qiyāda, pimping, Arabic: قیادة] is one of the fixed punishments [Arabic: حدود, Ḥudūd] that in Imami jurisprudence among the jurists, based on the principles of their ijtihād, has one, two, three and four punishments in the primary rule. Up to the certainty and researched consensus [inductive consensus, Arabic: اجْماعٌ مُحَصَّل] by jurists was 75 lashes for men and women, which is undoubtedly discovered [manifested] by the Infallible's verdict. In this article, we have reviewed the punishment of pimping [qiyāda] in Imami jurisprudence and criticized this punishment in the Islamic Penal Code by a library review and analytical-descriptive method. The claim of this study is that the punishment of pimping can be intensified to four punishments, which has proved its claim by using the aggregation [gathering] of evidences such as the restitution [replacement] of the weakness of the document with the fatwās [ruling] of the previous religious jurists, the authenticity of the consensus of the previous religious jurists, the validity of the appearance of the narration of ʿAbd al-Allāh ibn Sanān, and the confirming [supporting] of the narrative of Razavi jurisprudence.
