Fasiq (Arabic: فاسق fāsiq) is an Arabic term referring to someone who violates Islamic law. As a fasiq is considered unreliable, his testimony is not accepted in Islamic courts. The terms fasiq and fisq are sometime rendered as "impious", "venial sinner", or "depraved". Constant committing of minor sins or the major sins that do not require greater punishment, which are described as wickedness in fiqh (Islamic jurisprudence) terminology, are punished by the judge's discretion, without a certain limit and measure. In tazir punishments, there is no obligation to prove the crime by witnessing or similar mechanisms.
