The ruling on one who dies after the hand of the thief is cut off

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
May Allah reward you. The questioner says: If the hand of the thief is cut off and then he dies, what is the ruling in that?

Answer:
It is a loss (hadr). As for His saying (peace and blessings be upon him), “Whoever dies…,” the phrase of the jurists passed by you: “Whoever dies in a hudud punishment, the right of the one who killed him is not guaranteed.” There is no liability (daman) in it. This is a rule that is not established: what is a consequence of what is permitted is not guaranteed, and what is a consequence of what is not permitted is guaranteed.
