What is Islamic law?
Stealing is not allowed in Islam, and the doctrine holds that stealing is a big crime.

Islam has never imposed penalties arbitrarily or imposed them without due consideration. In this respect, Islam has a unique theory that combines the essence of two worlds (the theory of * * * productism and the theory of individualism). Islam correctly maintains a just balance and insists on considering the conditions and environment related to all crimes. When sentencing a criminal, Islam considers two aspects at the same time: the criminal's view and the offended public view. Due to consideration, the punishment prescribed by Islam is just. It is based on strict and prudent logic and wise reason, and it will certainly not be influenced by wrong theories and national and personal fantasies. Islam carries out preventive punishment. If you don't think about it carefully, at first glance, those punishments seem cruel and barbaric. However, Islam will not impose these punishments until it is clear that the crime is not just or that the criminals are not forced to act.

Islam stipulates that the thief's hand should be cut off, but when there is even a little doubt about whether the thief committed a crime because of hunger, this punishment can no longer be imposed.

Islam stipulates stoning adultery men and women to death. But this law can only be implemented if they are married and there are four witnesses to testify, that is to say, this punishment is necessary when two married men and women commit this crime in an indecent manner.

However, it is very rare to actually carry out the cases of breaking hands and stoning to death since ancient times, and it is only for the purpose of deterring people and cutting off their evil thoughts.

It should be mentioned that Islam has taken similar preventive measures in addition to those punishments.

Judging from the implementation of Islamic laws and regulations by Ou Mo, the second caliph, this is obvious. He is regarded as one of the most famous practitioners of Islamic law. Because he is very strict and famous in implementing laws and regulations, it cannot be said that he is careless in interpreting the law. We should remember that during the famine in Ou Mo, if someone suspected that they were driven by hunger, they would not carry out the punishment (cutting off their hands) prescribed for thieves.

The following episode illustrates the rules mentioned above well:

"Ou Mo was told that some boys working for HatidlbnAbiBalm stole a female camel from a man from the Muznah tribe. When Ou Mo questioned the boys, they admitted that they had stolen camels. So Ou Mo ordered these children's hands to be cut off. However, on second thought, he said, "Lord, if I knew that (employers) hired them and starved them, they should have had food to eat but didn't get it, so that they stole something they didn't deserve;" I wouldn't have cut off their hands. " Then he said to their boss, "Even if I haven't cut off their hands, I'll fine you a sum of money to make your heart ache." Then he ordered the boss to pay twice as much as the camel.

This episode clearly illustrates a principle: when circumstances force some people to do wrong and commit crimes, don't punish them. This principle is supported by the hadith: "avoid imposing punishment on anything that is doubtful."

If we study the punishment policy adopted by Islam, we will see that Islam should try to eliminate the environment in society that may lead to crime. After taking this preventive measure, Islam stipulated a preventive and just punishment. This punishment is only imposed on those who commit crimes without any reason or excuse. In those places where society can't rule out the environment that may lead to crime, or when there is some doubt about the crime, punishment will no longer be imposed, and the rulers will release the criminals, or the rulers will give them minor sanctions (flogging or imprisonment) according to how much they should be responsible for the crime.

Islam uses various methods to try to eliminate the environment that may lead to crime. It tries to distribute wealth evenly. It even succeeded in eradicating all poverty in Ou Mo's time. Islamic countries are responsible for subsidizing every citizen, regardless of his religion, race, language, color and social status. The state is also responsible for providing every citizen with a legitimate job. When a citizen can't find a job or can't work, he will be supported by public wealth.

After Islam has eliminated all possible motives for robbery, if it wants to impose punishment, it will still check all the circumstances of the crime and make sure that the criminals are not forced to commit crimes before committing them.
