The Shaykh : Who is the thief?
The thief is the one who takes money from its owner or his representative in a manner of concealment; this is the thief.
If a thief steals from a thief, he is not considered a thief by definition, because he did not take the money from its owner or from the owner's representative.
And its remaining in the thief's hand is remaining in a place that is not a true safe, because the thief is neither an owner nor a representative of the owner. So, the thief who steals from a thief is not subject to amputation. Who is subject to amputation?
The first thief.
As for the common saying: "The thief who steals from a thief is like the heir who inherits from his father," this has no basis; it is not correct.
