If the hand is amputated as a hadd punishment for theft, is it permissible to reattach it through a surgical operation?

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success. The questioner says: If the hand is amputated as a hadd punishment for theft, is it permissible to reattach it through a surgical operation?

Answer:
No, how can it be cut off and then you reattach it for him? So what is the outcome? It does not balance out. Allah has rendered it void, and you are reattaching it? Yes.
