Is amputation applicable if the thief drinks the stolen milk inside the enclosure or drinks an amount less than the theft threshold (Nisab)?
Chapter on Amputation in Theft

Primary text
If the thief drinks the milk inside the enclosure or drinks an amount that does not reach the Nisab threshold, there is no amputation. This is because the Nisab amount was not taken out of the enclosure.
