Children’s criminal rights seek to create the necessary limitations in the fight against juvenile delinquency in order to achieve proper methods for reforming and treating offenders under the age of 18. Accordingly, the community’s response to the crimes of children and adolescents should be proportional to these goals, which are clearly reflected in the formulation of punishments in the Islamic Penal Code. According to this law, Hudud is executable for children and adolescents, but this does not mean neglecting the personality and age of the offenders. The findings of this article, aimed at examining the manner of issuance and enforcement of Hudud, indicate that a review of the age of criminal responsibility for children and adolescents based on existing jurisprudential sources is possible and recommended. However, in the current legal situation, on the one hand, the characteristics of Hudud—such as the criminal policy of avoiding excessive punishment, the difficulty of proof, the need to observe the rule of Dar’, the process related to the rule of Jeb, and the discretionary powers of the governor in issuing and enforcing Hudud, along with the limited role of the plaintiff in pursuing these offenses—indicate that instances of the implementation of Hudud are rare. On the other hand, issuing a verdict in such cases, according to the strict letter of the law, depends on proving the offender’s maturity and understanding of the nature and significance of the act committed. Therefore, there is no conflict between the punishment of persons under 18 years of age and the objectives of the new criminal law.
