Punishment for Stealing

SUMMARY: Stealing is a punishable offence and should be dealt with accordingly.

Narrated AbuHurayrah: The Prophet as saying: When a slave steals, sell him, even though it be for half an Uqiyah.
حَدَّثَنَا مُوسَى، - يَعْنِي ابْنَ إِسْمَاعِيلَ - حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو عَوَانَةَ، عَنْ عُمَرَ بْنِ أَبِي سَلَمَةَ، عَنْ أَبِيهِ، عَنْ أَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ، قَالَ قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ‏ "‏ إِذَا سَرَقَ الْمَمْلُوكُ فَبِعْهُ وَلَوْ بِنَشٍّ

Take responsibility for your actions and face consequences of wrongdoings.

EXPLANATIONS:
This hadith speaks about the punishment for stealing. It was narrated by AbuHurayrah that the Prophet said that if a slave steals something then they should be sold even if it is for half an Uqiyah. This shows us that stealing is not tolerated in Islam and must be punished accordingly. The punishment of selling the slave serves as a deterrent to others who may consider stealing in future. It also teaches us to take responsibility for our actions and face the consequences of our wrongdoings.
