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

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner:
What is done with the hand cut off for the hadd of theft? Is it buried?

The Shaykh:
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.

The questioner:
He says: May Allah reward you. Is it permissible for the thief to have it reattached through a surgical operation?

The Shaykh:
No. Allah has rendered it void, so it is not permissible to treat it or restore it. Yes.
