Punishment for Theft

SUMMARY: Theft is a serious crime and should be punished accordingly.

It was narrated that Ayman bin Umm Ayman who attributed it to the Prophet said: "The (hand of) a thief is not to be cut off except for the price of a shield, and in those days the price of a shield was a Dinar".
أَخْبَرَنَا عَلِيُّ بْنُ حُجْرٍ، قَالَ أَنْبَأَنَا شَرِيكٌ، عَنْ مَنْصُورٍ، عَنْ عَطَاءٍ، وَمُجَاهِدٍ، عَنْ أَيْمَنَ بْنِ أُمِّ أَيْمَنَ، يَرْفَعُهُ قَالَ ‏ "‏ لاَ تُقْطَعُ الْيَدُ إِلاَّ فِي ثَمَنِ الْمِجَنِّ ‏"‏ ‏.‏ وَثَمَنُهُ يَوْمَئِذٍ دِينَارٌ

This hadith discusses the punishment for theft, which is cutting off the hand of a thief. The price of a shield in those days was one dinar, so this was used as an example to illustrate how serious theft is and that it should be punished accordingly. It teaches us that stealing is wrong and that we should not take things that do not belong to us without permission from the owner. We must also respect other people's property and possessions, as taking something without permission can have serious consequences.
