Legislation, in the world, moves to pay attention to the subsequent care for
convicts, and then the culprit who has committed an offense and has been sentenced
needs care during and after the implementation of his sentence to be back as a useful
m
ember in his society. This care involves convicts' rehabilitation after the
implementation of their sentences to preserve their dignity and rights.
Therefore, the Positive Legislation has embraced the so-called 'Rehabilitation
Institution' which is trying to treat the effects of these sanctions. This institution does
not exist by that name in the Islamic Criminal Legislation. However, this research
aims to compare the fixed concepts in the Islamic jurisprudence which intersect with
the principles of institution of rehabilitation in the positive legislation _ especially in
the Syrian Penal Code _ the research involves the rooting of the concept of
rehabilitation in the Islamic jurisprudence through the systemof repentance and the
concept of eligibility and justice. It also includes a statement of the method of Islamic
legislation in dealing with the effects of sanctions after their implementation on the
eligibility of convicts and their social status.
