The penalty (punishment) of theft
This is inhumanity what the prophet of Islam brought he amputates the hand of the thief and disfigures his body because he thieved!!
And for this facile they depend on :
1-Allah Almighty said : [As for] the thief, the male and the female, amputate their hands in recompense for what they committed as a deterrent [punishment] from Allah. And Allah is Exalted in Might and Wise. (38)
2- Sahih Bukhari Book (Limits and Punishments set by Allah (Hudood)) chapter (Allah Almighty’s statement ([As for] the thief, the male and the female, amputate their hands). And about how much to cut and Ali amputated from the palm of the hand and Qatada told about a woman had stolen her right hand had been amputated. In number 6291 Narrated `Aisha: The Prophet said, "The hand should be cut off for stealing something that is worth a quarter of a Dinar or more."
3- Sahih Muslim book (Punishments) chapter (Theft punishment and quorum) number 3190 . 'A'isha reported Allah's Messenger (may peace be upon him) as saying: The hand of a thief should not be cut off but for a quarter of a dinar and upwards.
The reply for this slander:
1- The goals of Islam Sharia (Islamic laws) are : protecting religion, protecting soul, protecting mind, protecting honor and protecting fortune.
Imam Nawawi (Allah bless his soul ) says in his explanation:
The judge Ayath said : Allah Almighty preserves fortunes by putting amputate punishment on the thieve, and He doesn’t impose this punishment on embezzlement, looting and plunder; cause those are little if compared to theft; and because these kind can be returned to the owners by calling for, and is easy to proof it not like theft that rarely can be proofed, that is why the case is magnified and the punishment is intense to be enough reason to prevent it and keep away from this crim.
I said : theft is the greatest crime that souls dislike and is contradictory with the Sharia purposes, and does not go with the true faith. It had been stated in Sahih Bukhari number 6284 Narrated Ibn `Abbas:
The Prophet said, "When (a person) an adulterer commits illegal sexual intercourse then he is not a believer at the time he is doing it; and when somebody steals, then he is not a believer at the time he is stealing."
So the punishment and penalty that Allah almighty has appointed as sharia (law) contributes to stability of real security for society and families, and contrary to this we see Ordinances that heads from west leads to more crimes spread… an example for this : a small (young) criminal enters prison and comes out as a big (an adult) criminal cause he has been introduced to most experienced criminals than him.
If said : After amputating his hand the thieve becomes a burden on society and can’t work…
I said : the punishment is not dictating the amputation of both hands ; but one hand from the wrist, as one person suffering the difficulty is lighter than hurting thousand innocents who have no guilt
