What constitutes secure possession (Hirz) for grazing camels (Ra'iyah)?
Chapter on Amputation in Theft
Al-Mughni
Book of Ḥudūd (Prescribed Penalties)
Primary text
The secure possession of grazing camels is established solely by the visual observation of the keeper. Any portion of the herd that goes out of the keeper's sight or while he is asleep is not considered securely possessed, as the security relies entirely upon the keeper's continuous watch.
