If the hand of a thief is cut off, where is the severed hand taken?

The questioner : The question is: If we cut off the hand of a thief or one who causes corruption in the land, what do we do with the severed part? Is it buried in his grave, and then does it cause harm?

The Shaykh : No, no, it is buried in any place, and no prayer is offered over him.

The questioner : Yes, but do we not say that it descends upon him when he dies?

The Shaykh : Who, O leader?

The questioner : The severed part.

The Shaykh : When does it descend upon him?

The questioner : Upon his limbs after he dies.

The Shaykh : Meaning we dig a hole for the knee in it.

The questioner : Meaning we bury the limbs, and then after the severed part dies.

The Shaykh : No, no, that is not appropriate.

The questioner : Let it descend upon him.

The Shaykh : No, no.
