A Contemplation on the Nature of the Harese and Damie

Harese and Damie are of the lightest species of Shejaj. Article 709 of the Islamic Punishment Law defines Harese as a scratch in the skin without bloodshed. Damie is a kind of injury that penetrates superficially into the skin with a bloodshed. These two definitions originate from well-known jurisprudent's theses concerning Shejaj; only that in their definition, "bloodshed" is the point, not "blood flow". The ambiguity of these two definitions requires a more precise definition. By applying jurisprudent's thesis on recent scientific data and their relations to definitions of different species of Shejaj, it could be said that Harese is the scratch without bloodshed of the outer skin that is called Epidermis in medicine. Damie is the injury caused by the rift of the surface of the skin, Hypodermis and Dermis, which rifts the capillary and had blood flow. Hence, contrary to Sheikh Mofid's Thesis in defining Damie, in addition to the realization of the injury, muscle tissues under the skin (which jurisprudents call Lahm (meat)) does not rift but that Harese and Damie are limited to the injuries of the surface of the skin.
