The limits set by Allah, the Almighty, refer to His commands and prohibitions, violation of which entails deterrent punishments, whether prescribed, like these of adultery and defamation, or discretionary, like these inflicted for breaking one's fast during the daytime in Ramadan and refusing to pay Zakah, as well as for other prohibitions or abandonment of obligations. Apart from this, there are disciplinary procedures for women and boys to be implemented, not for the commission of sins, but for the purpose of rectification and discipline. Such measures may not go beyond ten lashes, unless the wrongdoer abandons a religious obligation or engages in a prohibited thing.
