Retaliation against the offender whose hand has been amputated

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
He says: Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success. He says: If the offender has had his hand amputated and he commits a crime by cutting off a hand, is retaliation carried out against him by cutting off his hand?

Answer:
The right hand is cut off for the right hand, and the left for the left. So if the remaining hand corresponds to the hand that was injured, it is cut off. But if it does not correspond, no, yes.
