Law::
(shariat law) a person who has committed a cardinal sin or sins and deserves capital punishment for those sins or for other sins amounting to cardinal sins of that category, including the sin of attempting to subvert an Islamic government; a person who has been declared so by a shariat law court, and who may be killed by any person if being at large. This kind of condemnation is more often the case where the convict having committed certain capital sins happens to be at large or is with no fixed abode at the time the ruling is issued, a typical case having been that of Indian-born British writer Salman Rushdie who was declared thus by the leader of the Islamic Revolution, Ayatollah Khomeini, (in about 1982) for his book The Satanic Verses that is a surrealistic satire of Prophet Mohammad and Islam in general.
