According to the hadith narrated by ‘Aishah, the Prophet Muhammad ﷺ used to cut off the hand of a thief if they stole an amount of money equal to or more than a quarter of a dinar. This punishment was prescribed by Allah as part of Islamic law and is meant as deterrence from stealing. It is important for Muslims to remember that this punishment should only be carried out when all conditions are met and it should not be taken lightly. The purpose behind this punishment is not only justice but also mercy, as it serves as an effective deterrent from theft and other crimes in society.
