What is the ruling on one who takes a prosthetic hand after his hand was amputated as a legal punishment?

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The Shaykh : If the fingers are rigid and not moving, as if they were... well, this is not far from the science of what has flown to the sky and reached the moon, and so on, where they make movements so the fingers move. And as if I heard something of this, but I am not sure. In any case, there is a difference between this rigid hand, where if a person looks at it, it appears to be a prosthetic hand, unlike the first one we are imagining. In any case, regarding the one whose hand was cut off for theft as a legal punishment, we do not see, absolutely, that he should take a hand, whether it is a real hand where the nerves are connected and it moves, or a prosthetic hand. But the prosthetic hand is lighter, and it becomes lighter the more it differs from the likeness of the divine hand.
