Abstract :This paper examines the concept of qadhf /defamation in the light of the judicial registers of the Bakhchisaray (Crimea) and various Istanbul law-courts. To give the reader a legal and historical background, it gives a summary of the Sunni legal doctrines. I hope this study contributes to our understanding of Sunni Islamic law and the application of the law in the qadi courts.Keywords : Honour, Slander, Defamation, Ta‘zir, Criminal Law, Hanafi, Legal studies
