As salamu alaykum wa rahmatullahi wa barakatuh


Some people say that if someone steal something (because he has nothing to eat or something like that),we have the right to cut his hands like in saudi arabia. I have a doubt, is it really said in kur'an that we can punish people like that? Why or why not? In which verse?
I hope for your answer as soon as possible Incha Allah.
Barak allahu fik

Hey hope this isn't 2 late
First of all it depends on the thing he has stolen
Second we only cut hands after the 3rd offense
3rd I'm not sure where in kuran and I don't remember what it is exactly but it means that he or she who steals cut their hands
And to answer your why and why not question well in this case to teach them a lesson
Hope this was enough for u
There is more to it so you better do the research
