The questioner : Cutting off the left hand... is there evidence for it?
The Shaykh : There is evidence, and the scholars have differed on it. Some of them graded it as good and acted upon it, while others said it is weak and should not be acted upon, because only the cutting off of the hand is mentioned.
The questioner : Shaykh, what is the stronger position in this issue?
The Shaykh : By Allah, I have not clarified it; I have not clarified the stronger position.
