Other examples of instrumental goodness include ḥudūd, qiṣāṣ and jihād. Unlike preparations for ritual worship, these belong to discussions of penal and public-law purposes.
Penal sanctions are connected in the argument to deterrence, justice and protection of rights; the discussion of armed conflict connects its legal purpose with protection against aggression and defense of the right. The intended good is not the infliction of pain or warfare for its own sake.
These legal-theoretical examples do not authorize private punishment or independent resort to force. Jurisdiction, lawful authority and detailed conditions belong to their own substantive legal chapters.
