Chapter on the Legal Punishment for Theft

وَ فِي رِوَايَةِ اَلسَّكُونِيِّ قَالَ قَالَ عَلِيٌّ عَلَيْهِ اَلسَّلاَمُ: "كُلُّ مَدْخَلٍ يُدْخَلُ إِلَيْهِ بِغَيْرِ إِذْنٍ فَسَرَقَ مِنْهُ اَلسَّارِقُ فَلاَ قَطْعَ عَلَيْهِ".
In the narration of Al-Sakuni, Imam Ali ibn Abi Talib عليه السلام said: "Every place that can be entered without permission, and a thief steals from it, there is no cutting off of the hand."
