The ruling on threatening a thief with surrendering his rights or handing him over to the police
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
The questioner says: I have an employee who has been proven to have stolen a large amount of money from the company. Is it permissible for me to give him a choice between two options: that he waives his entitlements, or that I hand his case over to the police?
Answer:
It is necessary to prove this against him, and this requires a judge’s ruling. If this is proven against him before the judge, the judge rules against him according to the Shari'ah ruling. As for you accusing him without proving it against him, that is not acceptable. Yes.
