If a thief commits multiple thefts before the prescribed amputation penalty is executed, does one amputation suffice for all prior thefts?

Primary text

One amputation suffices for all prior thefts when multiple instances of theft occur before the execution of the penalty, and the limits (boundaries/effects) of these thefts merge into one. This ruling is established because the amputation for theft is a prescribed limit belonging purely to Allah (Hadd min Hudud Allah). When the causes for such limits accumulate, they merge, similar to the Hadd for adultery (Zina). The evidence supporting this is that the penalty is purely a right of Allah, causing subsequent instances to merge, unlike the Hadd for slander (Qadhf), which involves the right of a human being, requiring a claimant and being nullified by pardon.
