Repentance is considered as one of the ways of avoiding punishments. This is to be called a “Judicial Constitution” which is not found in other judicial school of thought. It is one of the best way of correcting sinners. This article studies this issue with a critical analytical approach. According to the holy Qur’an, hadiths and Muslim jurists’ sayings one can conclude that a true regret and will to avoid sin is enough for repentance and there is no need for any special words or acts. According to Islamic criminal law and Imami feqh repentance has a great position and if performed with complete qualifications, it can be considered as a legal way of avoiding punishment. If a misdemeanor repents after confession, the judge can ask for forgiveness from Wali-e amr. But after testimony repentance has no legal effect.
