A special religious decision, which is "specific to" a person, group, institution, event, situation, belief and practice in different areas of life, and usually includes the approval/disapproval of a judgment, is called [[fatwa]]. [[Tazir|Tazir penalties]], which are outside the [[Qisas]] and [[Hudud]] laws, have not been codified, and their discretion and implementation are under the initiative and authority of the judge or political authority.{{sfn|Vikør|2014}}{{sfn|Ziadeh|2009c}}

Jurisdiction that concerns individuals is personal and, for example, in a Islamic Qisas or [[Diya (Islam)|compensation]] decisions, jurist must take into account "personal labels" such as the [[women in islam|gender]], [[islamic views on slavery |freedom]], religious and [[social status]] such as [[mu'min]], [[kafir]], [[musta'min]], [[dhimmi]], [[apostate]], etc. Islamic preachers constantly emphasize the importance of [[Adl|adalah]], and in trials, the judge is not expected to observe equality among those on trial, but is expected to act fairly or balanced. Traditional fiqh states that legal and religious responsibility begins with [[baligh|rushd]].
