neutral  Mohsin Alabdali: تعزير in Shari'ah can never be a verbal "censure, rebuke, reproof, reprimand, reprehension, scolding, chiding, tongue-lashing" but only a corporeal punishment such as lashing, severing of a limb or execution.

  -> In shar'ah Ta'zer is an extra punishment other than the main one, originaly from the words above, since adopting the meaning of the word is a kind of translation widely used

I now think the word arrnagment in the suggested translation should be: "in a sentence of discretionary corporeal punishment".

Punishments in Islamic Shari'a are invariably corporeal. These can be either حدود or تعزير. The حدود are proscribed and the judge has no choice in the type sentece to mete out. In تعزير cases, the judge has absolute discretionay power to vary the sentence to suite the crime.
