1-Robbery, by cutting the hand of the thieve -unless pardoned by the victim-.
2-Cutting both the hand & the leg in the case of the criminal is spreading corruption in the land as the verse say:
Both are absolutely unacceptable responses. Maiming is never okay. Ever. It doesn't fucking matter what scripture authorizes it - in all cases, it is a violation of the criminal's human rights.
But Astrega, the whole world -especially westerm countries- are exporting "maiming devices" called live ammunition; and deploy them to fighting jets and landmines, and crossed the level of hypocrisy to sell them for billions of Dollars to dictators who use maiming + butchery towards millions of innocent people, like the "maiming war of Yemen" that the west + Saudi Arabia are waging now.
Calling maiming with other names like "tactical airstrike" remains what it is: a maiming strike. Calling "maiming" with "tactical bombing" to help one sleep at night will not change the fact.
At least Allah says it as it is.
