All state governments make their efforts, at their levels, to curb the hazard of corruption. Financial corruption is a menace to every society. Criminal Law of the People's Republic of China awards the punishment of death to the culprits of heinous financial corruption. In Pakistan, the Federal Investigation Agency (FIA), National Accountability Bureau (NAB), and Federal Board of Revenue (FBR) are making their best efforts to eradicate this evil. Islamic jurisprudence provides only limited offenses where the death penalty is settled as punishment. Whether Islam can adopt this punishment, is a question, not considered by early Muslim jurists in their academic works. The Qur’anic conception of punishments is broad enough to accommodate the needed adjustments, which this article attempts to do. This research helps facilitate legislature to handle the question of whether or not it can award the death penalty to financial corrupts in light of Islamic injunctions.
