What is the ruling for accusing someone using the term 'Kashhaan'?
General Chapter
Al-Mughni
Book of Ḥudūd (Prescribed Penalties)
Primary text
Accusation using the term 'Kashhaan' necessitates a discretionary punishment (Ta'zir) because it is an accusation for which no fixed statutory punishment (Hadd) is prescribed. This is based on analogy to the ruling concerning 'Dayyuth'. The common understanding assigns a meaning similar to or very close to 'Dayyuth'.

The text indicates that 'Kashhaan' is not found in classical Arabic usage, although its general meaning is understood to be similar to 'Dayyuth'.
