Verse 38

Stealing and the appropriate punishment when indicated. Non-Muslim readers might view with repugnance the legislation or injunction enjoined in cases of stealing. May I remind them of what Christ said in Matt xviii - 8; an injunction not different from that in the Quran. Christ added to the hand, the foot and the eye.38- As to the thief, man or woman, who criminally and inexcusably commits a theft - whether by violence or by stealth, - you must make them suffer the amputation of their hands in requital of their iniquity; a punishment justified by Allah to set an example to others who are tempted to rob people of their property or plunder a person feloniously of something belonging, and Allah is Azizun (Almighty) and Hakimun (Wise).
