The Prophet ﷺ said, "There is no amputation for one who seizes by force, one who snatches, or one who breaches a trust."
أن النبي ﷺ قال: ليس على منتهب، ولا مختلس، ولا خائن قطع.
Tabarani narrated it in Al-Awsat (Majma Bahrayn 2466), Ahmad bin Qasim bin Musawir told us, Abu Muamar Ismail bin Ibrahim told us, saying, Abdullah bin Wahb dictated to me from memory, from Yunus, from Zuhri, from Anas bin Malik, and he related it.Tabarani said, "No one narrated it from Zuhri except Yunus, and no one narrated it from him except Ibn Wahb, Abu Muamar transmitted it alone."I say, its narrators are trustworthy, and it does no harm that some of them transmitted it alone from others. Likewise, the Hafiz said in Al-Dirayah (681), its narrators are trustworthy.Al-khulsah is what is taken by open snatching and forceful seizure. As for the khain, he is the one who takes property through deception and betrayal of trust, while outwardly showing sincerity toward its owner.Khattabi says, "The general body of scholars agree that the one who snatches openly and the one who betrays trust do not have their hands cut off, because Allah only imposed hand-cutting upon the thief."Likewise, Ibn Abdul-Barr claimed that the scholars agree there is no hand-cutting for open snatching, except for Iyas bin Muawiyah. See Al-Istidhkar (24/236).I say, Dawud Zahiri, and Ahmad in one report, held that hand-cutting is obligatory for open snatching and for betrayal of trust, because both involve wrongfully seizing another's property without right. So the matter comes down to the judge's ruling.
