Minimum value of theft that entails cutting thief's hand
Assalaamu alaykum, Shaykh. Recently, I read on your website about the prescribed punishment for theft. I came to know that the scholars differ regarding the minimum value of theft which entails cutting one's hand. According to the Hanafis, the minimum value is 10 dirhams, because at that time, the value of a shield was 1 dinar, or 10 dirhams. On the.. More

Ruling on whether repentance waives hadd of theft
Assalaamu alaykum. I saw your opinion on the ruling on a thief. You used the verse (5:38) that explains to cut off a thief's right hand and some hadiths. However, you ended up with a wrong opinion. You should be ashamed of Allaah if you did not bother checking the verse after it, (5:39), which says, {But whosoever repents after his crime and does righteous.. More

Minimum value of stolen property that entails penalty for theft
What is the minimum value of robbed goods for which one's hand is amputated in Islam? I found a hadith where it says a quarter of an Islamic dinar or three dirhams. I calculated it with dinar. I found that one dinar is a coin of pure gold weighing 4.25 grams, so a quarter ( ¼ ) is 1.0625 gram of gold. In my country, the value of 1 gram of gold, today,.. More

The robbed person has the right to take his exact property or something like it from the thief
I entered the mosque to offer the prayer and, when I went out, I did not find my shoes. They were worth 600 SAR. Then, I found them with another person.

I was not convinced.. More

Taking money without seeking permission of its owner is theft
Assalaamu ‘Alaykum, I have a big problem. A long time ago, the wife of my paternal uncle made a copy of the key of my grandfather's closet. From time to time, she started to take money from that closet without telling anyone. She began to give a part of it to my mother so that she may keep silent and not to tell anyone. My mother took a part of the.. More

Stolen public property bought from the thief should be spent in public service
I am a religiously-committed Iraqi Muslim man. There were many incidents of stealing public property in our disaster-stricken country.

Stealing to help those in need!
I have a seventeen-year-old female friend whose family suffers from difficult financial conditions. She believes in Allaah, the Exalted, and performs prayer, but she sometimes steals. The strange thing is that she does not steal for herself, but to give to those in need. She does not like to turn down whoever asks her for money or tell him that she.. More

Depriving the thief of his rights is injustice
It is a common practice in our country to entirely deprive the wage-earning worker of his wages if it is proven that he has stolen something, even if insignificant. This is based on the assumption that theft has been a persistent stable attitude of him. According to principle, should we deduct the stolen amount of money from the worker's wages based.. More

State property is as inviolable as that of individuals
Here in Libya, some people claim that robbing the properties of the state is lawful because it does not observe justice in dealing with its citizens. For example, the citizens who belong to the hard working class are not able to seek treatment outside the country while some people would travel abroad to receive treatment for the flu.
