Muharibieh, in Fiqh terminology, means frightening people by arm. The simultaneity of muharibih and ifsad fi al-arz (doing corruption in the land) in the thirty third verse of Surah Maidah in the holy Quran has brought about a difference in the interpretations of jurist and lawyers. A bulk of them has seen ifsad fi al-arz as entailing Muharibih in jurisprudence terminology. Some of them, however, have regarded the expressions as distinct. Those in the later position, yet, have difference of mind to either see one or both of them as sufficient for actualization of the issue under study. Some believe that putting effort in doing corruption in the land indicates the intention and purpose of “Muharib” so, only by putting corruption into effect, the subject deserves to be punished as Muharib. On the contrary, some believe that the intention and purpose to do corruption is enough to punish someone as Muharib because they know it as ifsad fi al-arz as evidenced by the denotative meaning of Muharibih in the verse. The present study, sees two terminologies as distinct and their actualization as necessary for substantiation of punishment. Also, it sees the connotative meaning of Muharibih in the verse broader than its denotative meaning.
