What is done with the hand cut off for the hadd of theft

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
I ask Allah to do you good. Your Eminence, father, the questioner asks: What is done with the hand cut off for the hadd of theft? Is it buried?

Answer:
It is buried. Yes, it is left; it must be buried because it is a part of a human being, and a human being has sanctity. It is not left on the surface of the earth. He and his limbs are buried; nothing of him is left. Yes.
