Question:
The questioner: When the hadd punishment for theft is carried out by cutting off the thief's right hand, is it permissible for him to take his hand with him? And what if he regains his hand through the cosmetic surgeries that are now available in some hospitals?
Answer:
This is not permissible. His hand is discarded; it is buried and not given to anyone. It is buried and discarded, and he is not enabled to have it reattached.
